Others about The Sound Track

“I now know that this is the book that’s been missing from my shelf for years; crystal clear in structure and presented in plain language. And amazingly complete. A must-read for all professionals."
Bob Zimmerman - composer/arranger

“The Sound Track' is thoroughly readable, packed full of gold-dust knowledge, and strengthened with a backbone of relevant, well-cited literature. After reading through this book for the first time, you will surface, hungry for more insights and cross-section views into the rather secretive industry of audio-visual productions (TV & Film)! (…) Whether you want to work in TV, Film, sound design, composition, Foley artistry, or are just reading as a curious observer, this is a vital piece of reading.”
Tony Halliwell – composer

“Extra bonuses in this book: the open and original approach to the problem of ‘getting stuck’ in front of an empty (or even over-full) page/screen – and the extremely effective tips & tricks generously shared with the reader by the author, who has also worked a lot with students. These methods are therefore also the solution to truly creative problems”
Dimitri Arnauts – composer
