Tide tail: I didn’t think about it chainsaw man Not at all. While I’m working on one project, I’m thinking about another, and it’s a bit rude to incorporate parts of the latter, right? I just treat them as different projects.
Westcott: I have another question for Ushio. exist taste During the panel earlier today, you discussed the use of editing and mixing in soundtracks. taste There are so many conflicting elements – aliens, spirits and different worlds occupying the same place. When it came time to bring these genres together, did you consider using music to make these disparate parts cohere? Or do you work hard to make sure those parts stand out?
Tide tail: The sound director and I discussed indie music in terms of aliens and ghosts. But it’s also a bit like helping a dress-up doll change its clothes. Like, if I add this dress, it becomes an alien aspect. But if I take it out and put it on, it turns into something ghostly. So I do a lot of mixing and matching.
