From HBO to the Oscars, How Being in the Scene Is Key for Simon Goff
My guest today is Simon Goff. You've probably heard his work on the film, Joker, starring Joaquin Phoenix. Simon was a recording engineer working alongside the composer Hildur Guðnadóttir. The film ended up winning the Oscar for Best Original Score.
You've also heard his work on the HBO miniseries, Chernobyl, where he won a Grammy as a recording engineer.
He's got a new album out called, Vale, that you certainly should listen to!
Simon's extraordinary accomplishments led us to a fascinating conversation in this episode. Keep listening to hear how the downtown music scene of 1960s New York, the Bauhaus movement, and minimalism have influenced his aesthetic choices.
Take notes on a certain Italian red wine he recommends and also which Japanese whiskey to buy. Plus, gain insight into why we all should be protagonists of the creation process.
