IF YOU'VE BEEN READING MY ARTICLES HERE IN WAVELENGTH, YOU
KNOW HOW BIG A FAN I AM OF ALL THINGS DISNEY, AND HOW THRILLED
I WAS TO HAVE THE CHANCE TO CONTRIBUTE SOUNDS TO SEVERAL OF
THEIR FILMS. LAST YEAR MARKED THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF ONE OF
THEM THAT I HAD A LOT OF FUN WORKING ON …
ALADDIN (1992). MARK
MANGINI SUPERVISED THE SOUND EFFECTS, AND THE SOUND DESIGNER
WAS OUR MAD GENIUS, JOHN POSPISIL ("JUST JOHN P").
THE FOLLOWING TWO STORIES ABOUT WORKING ON THE FILM ARE EDITED
EXCERPTS FROM MY UPCOMING BOOK,
ADVENTURES IN SOUND: MY LIFE IN
HOLLYWOOD AS A SOUND EFFECTS WRANGLER.
