An entertaining and enlightening exclusive interview with Supervising Sound Editor DUSTIN HARRIS and Supervising Sound Editor and Sound Designer NATHAN ROBITAILLE discussing crafting the sonic experience of SILO.<\/p>\n

SYNOPSIS:\u00a0 \u00a0SILO is the story of the last ten thousand people on earth, their mile-deep home protecting them from the toxic and deadly world outside. However, no one knows when or why the silo was built and any who try to find out face fatal consequences. Rebecca Ferguson stars as Juliette, an engineer, who seeks answers about a loved one\u2019s murder and tumbles onto a mystery that goes far deeper than she could have ever imagined, leading her to discover that if the lies don\u2019t kill you, the truth will.<\/em><\/p>\n

Created by Graham Yost and based on the book series SILO by Hugh Howey, SILO is Executive Produced by Yost and Morten Tyldum.\u00a0 SILO is directed by Tyldum, Adam Bernstein, Bertie Ellwood, David Semel, and Amber Templemore.\u00a0 Boasting an all-star cast led by Rebecca Ferguson, this dystopian underground world of SILO features, among others, Common, Tim Robbins, David Oyelowo, Harriet Walter, Will Patton, and Rashida Jones.<\/p>\n

DUSTIN HARRIS and NATHAN ROBITAILLE are an example of a perfect partnership.\u00a0 Having worked together on other projects such as “The Shape of Water” and the upcoming “Freaky Tales” from Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, as well as individual projects like “Locke & Key” and “The Handmaid’s Tale” for Dustin and more work with Guillermo del Toro for Nathan on “Nightmare Alley” and the acclaimed tv series “Cabinet of Curiosities”, among others, Dustin and Nathan have an easy ebb and flow to them, not to mention each has a good sense of humor.<\/p>\n

As we dove into the sound design, editing, and mix of SILO, Dustin and Nathan were generous with their time and their detailed discussion and sound reasoning in this exclusive interview examining specific sonic areas within the series, such as the ambient sound of a concrete mile-high structure and a potential issue with echoing, background voices, creating the sounds of isolation and quiet, multiple stages in designing the cacophony of sounds for the turbine engine room, balancing score with dialogue, foley, amplification, and ambient tones. The result of their efforts makes the experience of watching SILO, not only immersive but enthralling.\u00a0 The world looks and feels real.\u00a0 The world sounds real.\u00a0 \u00a0The auditory nuance is impeccable and the sonic overlay of the different levels within this silo is rich and full-bodied, just as it is for any of us out in the real world.\u00a0 The emotion is pure and real.\u00a0 Every element makes the world of SILO visceral, tactile, emotional, and the work of DUSTIN HARRIS and NATHAN ROBITAILLE and their teams is a very large part of that.<\/p>\n
