2022 TOKYO OLYMPICS
NBC SPORTS
EMMY AWARD WINNING
The 2022 Tokyo Olympic Games would mark the 4th Olympic Games I’ve worked on with NBC. Over what has developed into an incredibly rich creative relationship, the workflow with the team at NBC has been refined to a point where logistics can be taken out of the equation. Our main priorities lie in achieving the perfect balance of sonic characteristics for the event. To say I’m proud to be a part of this team, the work, and the Emmy we won for doing said work, would be an absolute understatement. Read more about the process below!

Tokyo is a host of some of the most unique, colorful, dynamic, and visually stunning cultures on the planet. Japanese art, especially through cinema, has always struck me as incredibly different from art and culture in the US — in the best way possible. The approach to designing the sound for the Olympics is always rooted in what suits the broadcast best, but also one that harkens to the cultural details seen throughout the host countries. With Tokyo, we had a lot to choose from. Key elements stemmed from items that permeate life in Japan — such as Furin Chimes, Botokani, Sensu Fans, Origami Paper, Kyudo Bow, and so much more. All of these elements were sourced and recorded to create bespoke sound effects for the event. The composites created may very well be combinations of all of these elements, manipulated after the recordings, but when the source material is authentic and customized for the project, the end product is ALWAYS more effective.
This was an honour to be a part of.
