It's amazing how we used to do many things manually, like adjusting phase between microphones. So much can now be done with a few clicks. That doesn't mean our work is done quicker, instead, it means we can invest the time saved into making everything else more perfect. I absolutely love that." What Murat doesn't particularly love is the often- isolated work sound editorial can demand of us. Not just literal sound isolation of the physical space that can make a room feel airless, but also the lack of contact with people for long periods at a time. "Once I shut this door, I become definitely contactless." Murat contrasts this with what he "My motto is that story drives every decision." loves most about the work: "We are creating something almost magical. We are essentially selling our clients on something invisible. I like solving problems and collaboration; working together to focus on solutions. These perspectives have helped me to develop the ability to connect with people and comprehend the requirements, regardless of how the client verbalises them. Then I fulfill those needs. That is my most favourite part of the job." It was my sincere pleasure to work directly with Murat on Ted Lasso, and I certainly hope our professional paths cross again. I am confident they will. C
