Sound of Metal star Riz Ahmed is on percussionist Dame Evelyn Glennie's podcast to discuss the film, in which he plays a punk-metal drummer who begins to unravel when he suddenly loses his hearing and identity. Glennie performs on the film's soundtrack, which features a score by Abraham Marder and Nicolas Becker and was released on Nonesuch Records in April. You can hear their conversation here.

Ruben. As you know, everybody here shares in the belief that being deaf is not a handicap. Not something to fix. It's pretty important around here. All these kids... all of us, need to be reminded of it every day.

An old-ish interview with Nicolas Becker. He did a great session at the School of Sound event in London earlier this year, and I've been interested in his work and approach ever since.

His idea of mixing Foley live is one that I've been incorporating into my work Foley mixing work with Image and Sound Factory. It would be great to have the time and luxury of four or six microphones, though. Maybe one day!

So much gold here it’s absolutely worth sharing, despite being two and-a-half years old.
