improve what I had done, no matter how hard I tried. Twenty years later, I imagine Paul coming to the mix review and that helps to keep standards up! Perhaps the most important thing I learned from him is the importance of dialogue quality and clarity … also a love of reverb. I spent much of my youth listening intently to films and trying to work out how things were achieved. Whilst my friends were listening to the latest music releases, I was listening to Ben Burtt! I often imagine a younger me listening intently to what is flying out of the surrounds of one of my mixes and can generally find something to make me smile. What was your reaction to winning the CAS Award? Absolutely thrilled. I have been nominated previously, but really didn't expect it. I did hear that some of the Skywalker team had been complimentary about the soundtrack. This was great to hear as they are responsible for so many formative and inspirational soundtracks for me. What do you like to do with your free time? Listen to music, play piano (badly), walk the dogs, watch films. Who would you like to thank? Johan Renck, Craig Mazin, Holly Schiffer, and all at HBO, Jane Featherstone, Sanne Wohlenberg, Sky … for making such an extraordinary show that offered so many opportunities for sound. What a pleasure it has been to talk to these four talented practitioners. They represent exactly what the Cinema Audio Society strives for. They are driven and talented, uphold high standards, and are particularly kind people who I feel privileged to have met. It's akin to being paid with education to meet and learn from sound mixers of this caliber. Huge congratulations to Vincent Piponnier, Gibran Farrah, Philip Clements, and Stuart Hilliker for their amazing work and their big win! I can't wait to hear more of their work in the future. If you haven't heard their work on Chernobyl, I highly recommend you move it to the top of your list. Craft & Creativity. Nothing can stop it. Stay Safe... We'll see you soon.
