Stop confusing creativity with your craft! You practice to clear the path for the muses, and when the muse arrives, you get out the way and run with them. I've thought a lot about this tension while doing the guest pods with far more successful (and far more organized) mixing engineers than I. But we all have our own ways of doing it. Maybe by hearing my way, you'll be inspired to try some new paths. To practice for practices sake. And to leave practice at the door when it's time to be an artist. To use music theory as an (incredible) tool, but not as a crutch or a map.And to work on your craft as often as possible, especially in those moments when you don't feel inspired.

Kelley's known as the Angry Filmmaker. He's pissed because he's passionate. He knows the value of stories. The value of putting the important things first. And that's why he's such a fantastic filmmaker and sound designer. As he signed the book he so graciously sent me, “Remember: the only people who really care about sound are the audience.” We dug into ADR (Automated Dialogue Replacement) in film and how that can kill emotion. About how technical skills are only there to pave way for the emotional. And about caring about the right things and speaking up for yourself. Sound designing is the art of world building. So step into Kelley's world for a moment, and come out the other end loving music more. (The book he sent was The Angry Filmmaker Survival Guide Part 2: Sound Conversations With (un)Sound People.
