I treat my longtime composer Mick Grierson's input on the same level of importance. I see it as a partnership of ideas, and sometimes I'll purposely craft an image with a sound in mind. I also love the fact that because Mick can generate and mix all the sound effects aswell as the score, he tends to compose the score with the effects in mind - not a common approach. “The process of building a soundtrack has to start with a gut feeling. I need to be able to to feel what the atmosphere is going to be like for the audience before I can begin. This can come from looking at the script or storyboard, but it’s still a bit of a mystery right up until we start to lay the sound on the images. That’s why I love working with Ash, because this is exactly the freedom that he wants to give me, and I really look forward to those times when we first sit down to do the audio.” “Where soundtracks are concerned, people tend to split the process in two. There’s Music and there’s Effects - the old fashioned M & E track. I’m not usually in favour of this approach. I’m not sure what the difference is between the two, as music can have and can be an effect, just as much as sound effects can have thematic value.” - Mick Grierson (taken from www.carrionfilms.co.uk) I’m personally very lucky.
