Academy AwardÂź-winning composer Volker Bertelmann joins guest host Jon Burlingame to discuss his tense and atmospheric score for âConclave,â directed by Edward Berger. Nominated for his third Oscar, Bertelmann â who won in 2023 for Bergerâs âAll Quiet on the Western Frontâ â shares how he crafted the filmâs unique musical palette, eschewing the sounds of traditional church music in favor of experimental instruments like the Cristal Baschet. He also discusses his approach to scoring thrillers as well as his deep collaboration with Berger.
â[Edward Bergerâs] feeling is that music is a third dimension, in a way. That it's something that adds a layer to the film⊠You can create links to scenes, but you can also use music detached from what you see⊠You can use it in areas where it's already starting to give someone a feeling, that you don't see in the scene, but somehow⊠undercurrent-ly⊠starts to rise⊠What I think Edward works a lot with is building tension up, but then cutting the music pretty hard, into silence. And then you're left in the silence. But the moment where it's cut is very important⊠It is intentionally being cut at a certain moment, and then there is maybe a natural sound where you suddenly feel much closer to the person than you felt before, because you are alone with a person in silence.â

From the fog-drenched crossroads to the eerie interiors of Orlok's castle, the pair reveal the painstaking care and simple, practical ingenuity that brought this cinematic fever dream to life.
âIâm just trying to curate life⊠What kind of optics just feel right? The little flare around the windows. What is the lens that just feels nice? Letâs just look at a bunch of those. Letâs have lenses made. Weâre very privileged in that we can do that now and see what that looks like.â

Mix engineer and producer Cian Riordan as wells as mix engineer Matt Cerritos join guest host Ben Givarz to discuss their work on St. Vincentâs seventh studio album, âAll Born Screaming,â which garnered critical acclaim and four GRAMMYÂź nominations, and is now available in stunning Dolby AtmosÂź. Cian and Matt discuss the recording and mixing process, how they collaborated to re-mix the album in Dolby Atmos, and the unique opportunities this immersive audio format provided to elevate the experience of the album and give it new dimensionality, while maintaining its emotional and sonic integrity.
âGoing in, being extremely happy with the stereo mixes, I didnât want Atmos to be something that was drastically different. I still wanted to have it play the same âtricksâ on the listener [and] hit people the same way. With Atmos, itâs a little bit more difficult because you canât really rely on having a heavy-handed mix bus. Loudness all has to be perceived because of the headroom requirements for the Atmos format. So itâs a different way of wrapping your head around it. And Matt, from doing this day-in and day-out, knew how to approach a lot of these concepts that we were bringing, creatively. And he really helped technically execute. It was a really fun process.â

Celebrating the 35th anniversary of â3 Feet High and Rising,â De La Soul's iconic 1989 debut album, mix engineer Rich Keller joins Dolby Creator Talks guest host Ben Givarz to discuss reimagining the groupâs legendary catalog in Dolby AtmosÂź. Rich reflects on the process of remixing these classics while preserving their essence, and explores how Dolby Atmos enhances hip-hopâs depth, energy, and spatial dynamics. Drawing from his work with legends like DMX, Wu-Tang Clan, Nas, and many other hip-hop artists, Rich offers invaluable insights into honoring the past while embracing the exciting new creative possibilities with Dolby Atmos.
âThere's only one hard rule that I maintain when doing Atmos... and this is the one lesson that keeps on giving. When you're dealing with stereo stems, keep 'em wide. All the way hard left and right. Because as soon as you bring it in, you've changed the mix... You got to keep the artist happy... I've had them here in my room, in my little basement. They come down, they sit down, and I go back and forth to the stereo. Then they freak out. They're like, 'Oh my God, that sounds incredible. And it sounds big! But it still sounds like my song. Thank you.' And that's the critical thing.â

Academy AwardÂź-winning filmmaker Sir Steve McQueen joins us to discuss his latest feature, âBlitz,â alongside his acclaimed sound team. The film, which explores the harrowing experience of the London Blitz during World War II, is shortlisted for Best Sound at the upcoming Academy Awards. In this episode, McQueen and his team take a deep dive into the process of creating a visceral, immersive soundtrack that captures both the chaos and quiet moments of survival, all presented in stunning Dolby AtmosÂź. And the film starts off with a literal bang, all designed to plunge the audience directly into the horrors of this place and time.
âThe backbone of [films], for me as a filmmaker, is sound. It's always been sound. Sound is much more important to me than images in some ways. Because when you hear something, you feel the weight of it. When you hear something, you sort of even smell it⊠Images, yes, they illustrate. But they don't tell you about the size and the mass of things. And that's what we wanted to jump in with two feet with, immediately. With that terror.â
âSir Steve McQueen, Director, Producer, Screenwriter, âBlitzâ

Mick takes us back to the albumâs original recording sessions, sharing how he and Daft Punk meticulously crafted the sound that went on to win Album of the Year in 2013. Robert adds his perspective on adapting the record to Dolby Atmos, a process that opened up new spatial dimensions while staying true to the album's artistic intent.
This interview is part of our music series, "Reimagining the Classics."
âYou could do a lot more analysis of it from Atmos by separating channels and things, but I think Dolby Atmos added to the experience of the album. There's so much going on in parts of that album that I think Atmos was a big, big improvement, a big benefit for some of those really dense parts to separate and to be in their own space.â

From the spectral sounds of Count Orlokâs castle to the brilliant use of silence and dynamic range, this conversation unpacks the intricate audio techniques that make the film so unforgettable.
âI mean, it begins even before [the first scene] with the quote-unquote logo animations. [We] recreated silent film-style logos⊠with audio analog hiss and some wind, which morph into each other. You know, I think these horror film cold openings that end with a jump scare, when theyâre done successfully⊠keep you on edge of your seat for the rest of the film because⊠you know that anythingâs possible.â

âMaria,â the latest film from director Pablo LarraĂn, offers a mind-bending exploration of the life and final days of legendary opera singer Maria Callas, with Angelina Jolie delivering a transformative performance. To bring her world to life, the acclaimed sound team faced the unique challenge of blending iconic original recordings of Callas with actual, live performances from Jolie, who trained extensively to sing opera at a professional level.
âWe absolutely went into this with the idea that Angelina was gonna do this live⊠She called it âface singing,â because it's so unnatural. It's not a pop song in your shower or in your car where you kind of just go along with it. It's constantly changing tempos and dynamics; that's super hard to reproduce. I mean, what she did was incredible to even begin to approach this.â
âMac Ruth, Production Sound Mixer, âMariaâ
From live on-set vocal performances to intricate post-production layering, the team reveals their cutting-edge techniques for weaving together these extraordinary performances into a seamless auditory experience.

"Some of the moments that we got in the movie were only because of the live [recordings]. There were moments that went viral... if we had tried to record that, Steven Schwartz wouldâve killed that in one second in the recording... But by that point [on set], [Ariana Grande] was riffing, she was Glinda. Or even in 'Iâm Not That Girl.' That beginning of it is just so delicate, that Cynthiaâs just barely singing coming in. And when she starts to do those riffs... thatâs the magic, actually, that happened."

Academy AwardÂź-nominated filmmaker RaMell Ross and his acclaimed sound and music team join us to discuss the making of âNickel Boys.â In adapting Colson Whiteheadâs Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, Ross employed first-person cinematography to draw audiences directly into the emotional and physical experiences of the filmâs protagonists in a completely immersive way. This innovative approach created unique challenges for the sound team.
âI know before we make the film that the sound is going to be deeply complex⊠Dan [Timmons] worked so long on this thing because it's so subjective⊠You can go too far [with the sound]⊠in a way in which it's so abrasively rendered, that it pushes you away.â

"[Director] Jacques [Audiard} always says he had this idea a long time ago â to make a little opera. And then for this movie, he finally decided to turn it into a musical. But for some reason, I think when he started the idea, he just made a treatment. And then, [composers and songwriters] Camille and ClĂ©ment started to work."

Academy AwardÂź and Grammy AwardÂź-winning songwriter Stephen Schwartz, Tony AwardÂź-winning musical director Stephen Oremus, and Oscar-nominated composer John Powell join guest host Jon Burlingame for an in-depth discussion about bringing the iconic Broadway musical âWickedâ to the big screen. Together they discuss how they collaborated with director Jon M. Chu to adapt the beloved musical into a cinematic experience, the challenges of blending live and pre-recorded vocal performances, and the ways in which they expanded the orchestral arrangements to match the scale of this massive Hollywood movie musical.
âWe had spent so much time â and by âweâ I mean myself and [writer] Winnie Holtzman â when we were writing the screenplay, which of course includes the songs [and] going through everything very meticulously with [director] John Chu, that basically he came in knowing how he was going to shoot it⊠But then, of course, once you're actually there and working with bodies and working within the environment, things will change⊠This was an extremely collaborative process all along the way. It wasn't as if we did some music work, then went away, and came back and were surprised by what was done with it⊠Nobody sort of went off and did his thing by himself.â

Renowned film composer Harry Gregson-Williams joins guest host Jon Burlingame to discuss his sweeping score for âGladiator II,â the highly anticipated sequel to Ridley Scottâs 2000 Academy AwardÂź-winning classic. Having collaborated with Scott on seven films now, Gregson-Williams shares his approach to crafting a fresh sound for the world of Gladiator while also paying homage to Hans Zimmerâs iconic original score. From using ancient-inspired instruments and choirs, to experimenting with vocalists from around the globe, Gregson-Williams reveals how he wove together a richly textured score that enhances the filmâs epic scale and emotional depth.
âThe conversation I had with Ridley at first was that this is a fresh movie. It relates to the first movie, [but] let's not make our first port of call anything to do with the first score, thematically or otherwise, which was quite liberating. I knew we would circle back somehow, and lean on some of Hans's thematic material, just occasionally.â

Pharrell Williams has had a remarkable life and career in music, which are chronicled in the film âPiece By Piece,â a uniquely animated documentary made entirely out of LEGO. Joining todayâs discussion is Director Morgan Neville, Supervising Sound Editor Al Nelson, and Re-recording Mixer Pete Horner, to talk how Pharrellâs creative vision for using LEGO opened up exciting storytelling possibilities, the filmâs imaginative sound design and immersive audio mix, and how they brought Pharrellâs experience with synesthesia to life through sound and animation.
âThis film had so many more opportunities than a documentary normally [has]. Because of animation, I felt like we could time- and space-travel⊠That kind of freedom I got incredibly excited by. Normally we have so many constrictions, but both in terms of what I could do with sound, but also particularly with Pharrell, what I could do visually with sound. Both in terms of creating the synesthesia effect â which he sees color when he hears sound, and that we could actually see that â and by creating the beats, represented by physical objects of color, too. So that, from a storytelling point of view, was great.â
