In season 3, the Emmy-award winning Westworld leaves the parks behind for the sounds of the “real” world, circa 2057. In this episode, the sound team behind the remarkable show discusses showrunner Jonah Nolan’s design concept that noise-reduction technology has progressed to the point that the world seems quiet and peaceful...until the climactic end when all technology fails and the world devolves into chaos. The conversation also includes a discussion of mixing the show natively in Dolby Atmos, and the challenges of finishing postproduction as the world went into Covid-19 lockdown.
