It’s inevitable that if you’re between the ages of 18 and 40, you’ve probably coughed up the twelve dollars to witness the cultural juggernaut of 2010, The Social Network. And for as obsessed as some have been over the film, many others have been as equally studious of its soundtrack alone, helmed by none-other than Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.
Today we take at look at the behind-the-scenes craftsmanship that went into not only the music, but also the moments of David Fincher’s masterpiece that were defined by ambient noises and textures, often overlooked by the masses who have seen the movie.
Care of the SoundWorks Collection, two members of Fincher’s sound team, Supervisor Sound Editor Ren Kylce and Sound Re-Recording Mixer Michael Semanick, take the viewer through an insider’s look into their process and the importance of matching visual and acoustic aesthetics.
