Every now and then there are moments when time seems to stop, and I know I’ll remember them forever; today I had one of those moments. Mark Berger retrieved his footage from Apocalypse Now and had it convection dried, and transferred to digital format so that he could present to us, for the first time in 30 yrs, some of the magic and mystery of the layers of sound he used to create this sound masterpiece. Mark Berger is an exceptional lecturer, and educator, as well as sound prodigy. The artisty with which he is able to grab my attention by assembling an inspiring number of layers of sound, and suck me into the story, even when I am trying my hardest to be an observer, speaks to the power of his talent.
Patrick, thank you so much for making this all possible! I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to learn from the best teachers and individuals I could ever hope for! If you see me stuck in the editing room, like a bear to honey, now you know why.
Hope your dreams are as sweet and sticky as mine,
