A film sound giant has passed away: Foley artist Pete Burgis. He contributed sounds to 400 films including Children of Men and the Harry Potter movies. I never got to collaborate with him but his work is amazing and his kind generosity was inspirational. Check this short film: youtu.be/f78yF33k3ts

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).
A crescent Moon seen during the day, arcing from upper left to lower right of the frame. At lower centre is the full disk of Jupiter; the small dots to its upper left and lower right and Io and Ganymede, respectively.

Another take *how*? It’s the same take I helped my boss prepare for, re: the 4Cs conference back in 1999? 2000? (I don’t remember.) Freshman comp is required for almost every student everywhere; it’s the bread and butter of academia, and it’s often taught by adjuncts living out of their cars.

If I had one suggestion to those just starting in sound design, it would be to stay curious. Interrogate the world and objects around you. See what they have to say. I talk a lot about mastering, metadata, mixing, & more, but a sense of play is the best thing we could possibly have in our toolkit.

Joyeux anniversaire to French composer Éliane Radigue (b.1932) who turns an incredible 94 years of age today! Her work is proof that subtlety can be seismic, and that the smallest shift can change everything. Long live sustained tones, deep attention and Éliane Radigue!
