Came by some interesting links to articles on Walter Murch via rodcorp yesterday. particularly, although I haven't read everything yet, the LA Weekly interview with author Michael Ondaatje [dating back to September 2002].
Murch was responsible for the sound in the film adaptation of Ondaatje's English Patient as well as George Lucas' THX 1138, Apocalypse Now, Gimme Shelter and Francis Ford Coppola's The Conversation, which is what caught my eye. Having recently seen the film on DVD and been impressed by the quality of the sound montages.
Rodcorp also drew my attention to some of the quirkiest recordings I've come across for a while... Best title must be Symphony#2 For Dot Matrix Printers. It's by Xerophonics. Recombining the sampled sounds of copying machines, this is for fans of the cut-up, reorganized sounds of artists such as Christian Marclay and Stock, Hausen, and Walkman... It's available through e-music.com
Before Andy Kaufman died on May 16, 1984, he told several friends that he was planning to fake his death, disappear and return in 20 years, precisely. So, on May 16, 2004, Comic Relief will present Andy Kaufman: Dead or Alive? at the House of Blues on Sunset Strip.
