Interview with Coombes Studios

  1. Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

  2. A: Right after finsihing University, I worked doing sound design and sound mixing for a film called "Incriminating Mary" which went on to win 10 awards and was nominated for 3 more.

  3. Q: Analog or digital and why?

  4. A: Both. Digital for its ease of use, convienece and recallability. But I think alalog still has its place due to each piece of equipments unique sound, and somewhat unpredictability. I like that no other equipment sounds like what I have in my studio, and it helps me to develop my own sound.

  12. A: Smooth and characterful.

  13. Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?

  14. A: So many, but perhaps Jorja Smith because of her choice of instumentals combines more traditional jazz and soul soul sounds with contempory style vocals.
