New blog post breaking down Nolan’s #TheOdyssey Soundtrack:

How Göransson collides prehistoric instrumentation with the hyper-modern, baking sound into the script and the composer-director relationship (with a side rant about marketing...)

With Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey on the horizon, I found myself revisiting a project I made years ago: imagining what Homer’s The Iliad might sound like as a Hollywood blockbuster score.

The #Werwulf trailer got me thinking about The Northman again...

I took a closer look at how its score blurs the line between music composition and sound design, and why that approach feels so effective for the piece.

How do you make an ambulance siren feel like a natural part of a film score?

I’ve written a new article breaking down the music and sound design of our short film ‘Night Shift’: from bowing saws to building a dystopian world through sound.

When a story spans kingdoms and centuries, music becomes infrastructure.

New blog post exploring how The Rings of Power uses leitmotifs to make a vast fantasy world feel emotionally coherent.

How is it the season finale already?
What a thrill to be part of the #Rivals #Rivals2 family.
Did I mention that I had a cameo in episode one?! All thanks to an email that I first thought was a joke…

Film music works in two ways: composed for the image, or borrowed with history attached.
I've written a new blog post comparing Schindler’s List and Inglourious Basterds, what this means for filmmakers and creators - and when a composer makes sense!

[Charlie Parkin @Mp3Charlie]

@livelaughLORT excellent concept, gonna have to get some mates together and play this

[Charlie Parkin @Mp3Charlie]

@vokeev looks great

atmosphere and tone can do so much for immersion and make all other elements even stronger

the feelings while we play are what make the experience memorable

[Charlie Parkin @Mp3Charlie]

@ThetaForgeCo hefty scope but lots of potential!

[Charlie Parkin @Mp3Charlie]

@SoloGrinding_ @xeokeri awesome! dark and moody

[Charlie Parkin @Mp3Charlie]

@Absym_game loving the graphical style - the 3D/2D mix looks great with the expressive camera moves like at the end

[Charlie Parkin @Mp3Charlie]

@Riftwalkergame fully algorithmic socials tough and unpleasant to navigate these days for sure

but i try to keep interacting with the stuff i’m genuinely interested in in the hopes it gets recommended more…

BlueSky seems a bit better for consistency as a follower - easier to keep up with
