Good luck to Sicario composer Johann Johannsson tomorrow night. It was a pleasure mixing this one and it definitely deserves the Oscar nomination. I mean, come on! Those drums!

Yoga Hosers dub at Universal Studios Mix Room 2
Had a great day at the dub for Yoga Hosers today with composer Christopher Drake and director Kevin Smith. To borrow a quote from Kevin, “it sounds expensive!” You can’t get a better compliment than that.
Kevin Smith’s “Tusk” is a wrap!
Christopher Drake (Composer), very happy bartender, Christian Wenger (Mix Assistant)
We finished up the music mix to Kevin Smith’s new film “Tusk” last night. There are so many cool things about this movie I wish I could tell you about. Kevin’s done a brilliant job and so did Christopher Drake in creating the sonic landscape to this amazingly disturbing film! I can’t wait for you all to see it!
As for the cocktail, I thought something slightly sweet and golden in color would help the medicine go down a bit better, so without further ado, I present….
THE TUSK 2 0z. Silver Patron Tequila 1 0z.Cointreau orange liqueur 1/2 oz. of Red Vermouth Shake all ingredients in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. No garnish needed for this. It would only get in the way when you ask for another. Stay drunk my friends!Tusk…The mix begins.
We’ve started the score mix on the new Kevin Smith film Tusk! Composer Christopher Drake (Batman Arkham Origins) is composing the score. I can’t say too much, but it’s a trip!
I’m going to have to work on the cocktail for this one to try and match Kevin’s psyche.
See you on the other side!
And as always, stay thirsty my friends.
Deep Burial and a Hobbit at Remote Control
Assistant Christian Wenger, Composer Christian Davis, and DK
I finished the score mix on Deep Burial today with composer Christian Davis. It was great to work with Christian again as it’s been a couple of years since he left the womb of Remote Control to venture out into the wild world of the independent film composer. He’s done really well for himself and this project was a great way for us to reconnect.
Deep Burial stars Tom Sizemore and Dominic Monaghan (you’d know him as one of the Hobbits). Both put in superb performances as two different types of psychopaths on a futuristic earth.
On the technical side, it was all mixed in the box with Pro Tools 10 in Studio B at Hans Zimmer’s Remote Control (my home away from home). It’s a synth and sound design heavy score so I got to have a lot of fun with the surrounds.
I’ll post more about release dates soon.
Mixing at Remote Control
This is studio B at Remote Control. I’ve spent most of the last four years sitting here recording, mixing, editing, and generally messing with audio in one form or another. This is where I mixed “12 Years A Slave”, “Prisoners”, … Continue reading
