Sound Pieces

by Randy Thom

Places in a Film

The place is in and around a hydro-electric dam, internal generators, tunnels, charging water, quiet streams, machinery, a laundry fan. Academy Awarded Sound Designer, Randy Thom, composes sounds that might be heard in a film without a plot or dialogue.

Small Worlds

Human voices become insects, become wind, become rain, become foreign languages without meaning, and finally become music.


Composed and Produced by: Randy Thom

Randy Thom discusses the pieces with Erik Bauersfeld at the conclusion of the program.

Length: 26:37
