If you want your audience to pay attention, bring them in with sound. The open secret is that you see a movie more with your ears than your eyes. Peter Albrechtensen working hand in hand with director Lee Cronen, Peter built the soundscape for Evil Dead Rise. Peter shares a masterful philosophy on using sound to tell your story, not just for horror films but any genre. 

In the cinematic universe where visuals often steal the limelight, a hidden element remains to be truly tapped into - the power of sound. If you're a filmmaker, editor, YouTuber, or a dynamic content creator, or even a fan of the much-acclaimed Sam Raimi's Evil Dead franchise, you'll understand the pivotal role sound plays in creating an immersive viewing experience. The reality is, your audience engages with your content not just with their eyes, but significantly through their ears.

In their groundbreaking work for the latest installment of the iconic horror series, Evil Dead Rise, Albrechtsen and Cronen have demonstrated how sound can shape the narrative, transforming it into an arresting auditory experience.

Their innovative approach to sound design offers a treasure trove of insights, not just for those working in the film industry, but also for independent content creators, video bloggers, video essay enthusiasts, and indeed, anyone involved in creating visual content. Whether it's a spine-chilling horror flick, an engaging YouTube tutorial, a gripping video essay, or any piece of content, the principles they've developed can be adapted to enhance the auditory impact across various genres and platforms.

Albrechtsen's philosophy challenges the traditional perception of sound design. He urges creators to view sound as a vital narrative tool, a factor that can create an enthralling and emotional experience for viewers. This philosophy, while showcased in a horror film, is incredibly versatile and can be used to build a unique and memorable sonic identity for any genre or platform.
