When Johnnie Burn first came on Tonebenders in 2022, to talk about his sound work on director Jordan Peele's hit film Nope, it was immediately clear that he was going to be one of our favourite guests. He has since been on many more times, but this first interview is a classic. He discusses designing the film's ominous winds, the "voice" of Jean Jacket and lots more. As a bonus this episode also features a mini-interview with Johnnie about his latest film, Tuner. ______SPONSORS: Sound Ideas works with partners across the media and creative industries to distribute professional sound libraries, and they’re always looking to grow their collection.

Each one is hand made by Chris Trevino, a practicing field recordist, and a really engaged member of the sound community. He puts a lot of work into making and testing each mic to ensure they live up to his high standards. They are ultra-sonic capable, which makes manipulating your recordings with them a lot of fun. They are also extremely affordable. At $150us for the P48 & $130 for the PIP, they offer a lot of value for a stereo matched pair.
