Meine heutige Gästin kenne ich von unserer gemeinsamen Arbeit an der „Masters of the Universe“ – Hörspielreihe, bei der Mira Kempf für Postproduktion und für das Sounddesign zuständig ist. Pünktlich zum Erscheinen der 9ten Folge "das Erbe der Morc" unterhalten wir uns zum ersten Mal live und in Farbe - bisher war das Gespräch eher einseitig wenn sie sich Aufnahmen in meiner Rolle als Erzähler angehört und verarbeitet hat. In dieser Folge teilt Mira ihr Wissen über Musikwissenschaften, Skandinavistik, Musik und Geräusche und erzählt von ihrer Arbeit als Musikerin und Tontechnikerin. Außerdem verrät sie uns, wie sie neue Geräusche für das Masters of the Universe-Universum baut und mit welchen Dialekten und Sprachen, sie sich besonders wohlfühlt. Wir beschäftigen uns außerdem damit, was wir im Umgang mit dem Tod gelernt haben und welche therapeutische Wirkung Musik gerade in schweren Momenten haben kann.

To make things easier this week, on me at least, I'm going to pick my favorites from New York Comic-Con. Well, also because it's what took up half of the show this time around. Transformers was easy for me, can't beat an Ox and Cart Optimus Prime! G.I. Joe continues the movie goodness with their Cobra La Royal Guard. Star Wars continues not only their Retro line, but also does so with a third wave of A New Hope figures. Mondo carried the MOTU mantle. While their 200x line looks amazing, that price through.

Was, or is this, the biggest Movie that never was?! Then keeping in the same similar theme of Movies; we transform into another round of The Team!
