Post Sound: Sonically Creating Atlanta‘s Many Locations

Donald Glover’s award-winning series Atlanta recently returned to FX for its third season, which features Earn (Glover) managing a European tour for his rapper cousin Alfred . They are joined by Alfred’s eccentric friend Darius and occasionally by Earn’s ex-girlfriend Van. This season marks a departure from the previous ones in a few ways. The characters are on the road, and four of the 10 episodes do not feature any of the lead characters, instead functioning as an anthology of Twilight-Zone-esque asides within the show.  The show’s Formosa Group-based crew — including supervising sound editor Trevor Gates and re-recording sound mixers Diego Gat and Sam Ejnes — spoke with postPerspective to explain how they pulled it off… and how they worked with the show’s newly Emmy-nominated director Hiro Murai.
