The sound design community lost one of its brightest stars this week, with the passing of Ann Kroeber. Ann was a legendary field recordists and she left a legacy of amazing sound work. Her talent especially soared with animal recordings. Her sounds are the basis of countless Hollywood creatures and animal characters. Tonebenders’ host Tim Muirhead starts this episode with a few stories of his interactions with Ann that illustrate what a great person she was. Then we will roll into the full original interview Ann did with Tonebenders in May 2014. This is a fantastic interview that is very much worth a listen if you missed it a decade ago. We hope that playing this episode again can help keep her memory close to us all. She will be missed greatly.
