What a blast to attend the BAFTAs yesterday thanks to @ragjkarlsson and friends at @dolbylabs ! So inspiring to celebrate an amazing year of film and storytelling with such diversity. Proud to support Jerskin Fendrix and team Bugonia. Incredible to watch Robert Armayo take both Rising Star and Leading Actor 🥲 Amazing to see awards go to brilliant, powerhouse women Jessie Buckley, Wunmi Mosaku, Clare Binns and Dame Donna Langley. Heroes with such passion, forging a path for all women in film. Loved celebrating the importance of films like ‘This is Endometriosis’, and ‘I Swear’ for visibility and understanding. I feel so lucky to be able to contribute to this world in my own tiny way and so inspired to get back to work today! Thank you Dolby for the unforgettable experience xx

🐝 Yorgos Lanthimos directs ‘Bugonia’, starring Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons. The film follows two conspiracy-obsessed men who kidnap a high-powered CEO, convinced that she is an alien. Fiona Cruickshank (@fionatron ) recorded Jerskin Fendrix’s (@jerskinfendrix ) score in The Hall, and mixed the OST. Now showing in cinemas. #AIRstudios #AIRmanagement

Yorgos Lanthimos’ BUGONIA is out now!! It was a huge thrill recording the score for Jerskin Fendrix with an absolutely epic 88 piece London Contemporary Orchestra all playing together in the glorious Hall at AIR. Graeme then mixed the music for the film, before I got the chance to spend some time with the performances and mix and master the soundtrack album. I’m so pleased with how it’s come out and can’t WAIT to see the film! Thank you everyone for having me on board 🖤🐝 Composed, produced and conducted by: @jerskinfendrix Score performed by: @lcorchestra Orchestration: @hugh.tieppo.brunt Additional orchestration & copying: @ananda_composer Music & Score Supervisors: Anne Booty, @joerice2021 Supervising music editor & score mixer: Graeme Stewart Music editor & additional production: @william_carkeet Recorded by, Soundtrack mixed & mastered by: me!

Last month, Natalie Bibby (@compress_her ), Fiona Cruickshank (@fionatron ), and Olga FitzRoy (@olga.fitzroy ) hosted a series of workshops and talks at the legendary Real World Studios (@realworldstudios ), founded by Peter Gabriel (@itspetergabriel ). ✨ Over the course of the weekend, Olga presented a keynote on mixing music for picture, using Ridley Scott’s ‘Napoleon’ as a case study, while Fiona led a professional session focused on the art and technique of recording a string quartet. Natalie covered a wide range of mastering topics, including transitioning from mix to master, vinyl mastering and cutting, the use of psychoacoustics, approaches across different genres, and the techniques and workflows that shape her process. Huge thanks to our brilliant tech team at AIR for putting together a portable mastering rig worthy of the space, and to everyone who helped make the workshops such a success. #AIRstudios #AIRmanagement #AIRmastering

lots to say on ReBalance’24, in the meantime here’s a short video of the education days held at @airstudioslyndhurst late last year. Can’t thank AIR enough for the hospitality and support, and to all panellists for sharing their insight. I’m incredibly proud of the artists, producers and engineers involved, and of creating something different for @festivalrepublic . More to come! Thanks all. 📹 @jamiemkorn #studio #newmusic #womxn #masterclass #hampstead #engineer #mastering #festival

Happy Earth Day, all! 🌎 Disneynature’s “Sea Lions of the Galapagos” is out now, featuring an absolutely stunning score by @raphaellethibaut Sublime work all around! The main theme she crafted is one of those melodies that makes time stand still. The notes hit the heart in all the right ways. Elegant in its structure, powerful in its emotional impact. Brava, Raph and team! A perfect accompaniment to a beautiful piece of filmmaking. Stream both the film and soundtrack now! 🎶🩵🌊🦭 Music editor: @aureliewebbmusic Orchestration: @_adam.price @jackmckmusic Technical assistant @ethan__gillespie Score recordist: @fionatron Score recorded at @abbeyroadstudios Orchestra contractor: Isobel Griffiths Vocalist: @sophypurnell Score Mixer: @richmixing Soundtrack Mastering: @cookiejarrecording #Disney #Disneynature #FilmMusicIsMagic #EarthDay #Joy

Imagine being in the center of this sound. Imagine hearing your work come to life after five years of loss, love, grief, and growth all wove it together. #composer #recordingsession #orchestral 🎥: @kaj_dickson
