Murray Spivack
and King Kong
"Murray Spivack worked in
the movie business at a time
when fundamentals had to be
worked out. Given the advent
of synchronized sound, how
would music get used, how
would sound effects be created,
how would mixes happen?
Technologies and philosophies
had to be invented. Spivack's
wildly creative work, notably on
King Kong but on innumerable
films over many decades,
reverberates like Kong's roar
over the movie business still."
