The oneiric realm in this analysis concerns the dreams that Jiro experiences when he is sleeping and the visions that predict the outcome of a new aircraft construction or of relevant events in the narrative. These visions (while lacking a better term for the intensive and complex world of Miyazaki) emerge on circumstance, many times illustrating the genius aircraft […]
The Wind Rises is the first film being covered on this sound analysis upcoming series. Among the the many many films I’ve watched, TWR, was the one that left on me a significant impression with its exceptional approach to sound design. Now I need to admit here – as a person living in the western culture, film […]
The Atlantic Forest domain stretches from the northeastern to the southern regions of Brazil and northern Argentina and southeastern Paraguay. In the northeastern part of Brazil it occupies a thin coastal strip not exceeding 40 miles in width, while in the south it extends from the coast to as far as 200 miles inland. It harbors around 2,200 species […]
There is nothing to hear on this post, not on your headphones. But there is an incredible imaginary while I try to learn this place through sound. I have been in São Paulo, Brazil, for 7 days now and although I brought my upgraded gear, I have just recorded a few times, at least for this […]
Below I link the first review for AudioNewsRoom I’ve done on the impressive Pro Sound Effects Hybrid Library. This was the first of three where I go into some detail with organising and metadata. Would love to hear your comments on which points you would like me to go over in the next two reviews! […]

Having to record sound on a daily basis as a job, I get many new impressions and thoughts. This is a series that will be a way of sharing those. Many of the posts will be very short. Some might also be from other authors. Feel free to leave a comment and contribute with your […]
A few months ago Paul Virostek contacted me to ask a few questions about my field recording practice and launch it as an interview on his second series of “A month of field recordists”. It was (really) an honour, and a surprise, since his blog – and his books – have been what inspired me […]
I came across this while scrolling down through facebook and after some thought I decided to translate it and share it (I apologise in advance for my unprofessional translation skills). I will try to open a small discussion in the end in the comments section. Every time I worked on the sound part of […]
This is a post with the collaboration of my friend and director Sérgio. We will both share our thoughts on our process creating and communicating between a sound designer and a director.
