Trash to Treasure: The Art of Musical Sound Design

Cinema 1 - Saturday 3.45pm

With Rad Yeo

 Join acclaimed composer and sound designer Wilbert Roget II (Helldivers 2, Star Wars, Mortal Kombat and more) for a fascinating exploration of “musical sound design” — the art of transforming real-world and synthetic sounds into expressive musical elements.

In this conversation with Rad Yeo, Wilbert will unpack his self-described approach as a “musical trash collector,” revealing how he finds inspiration in the unlikely, the everyday, and sometimes downright bizarre. Through a rich mix of audio and video examples, discover how ordinary sounds can be manipulated, shaped, and woven alongside melody and harmony to create distinctive textures, atmosphere, and narrative.
