Sound mixer Steve Morrow on 'Maestro'

An underrated but incredibly important element of filmmaking is the sound mixing because you would surely recognise it right away if something “sounded off”. If you have seen Maestro, you probably noticed how the sound contributes to both the soft and intimate scenes, as well as to the big and loud parts. Well, it definitely captured our attention, hence our next guest is Steve Morrow, production sound mixer of Maestro.
Steve has already received four Oscar nominations for best sound for the following films: La La Land; A Star Is Born; Ford v Ferrari, and of course Maestro, Bradley Cooper’s second film as a director. You can also find his work in Fast X; Prey and (one of Szilveszter’s all time favorites) Babylon.
In Áron’s interview with Steve, among many other topics, you can hear him talk about passion projects, Bradley Cooper’s directorial instincts, how to record an entire orchestra live during the much talked about cathedral scene, plus a little bit of Joker: Folie à Deux and SNL 1975.
