Inside Hans Zimmer’s Organic Sound Machine (w/ Raul Vega & Mike Tran)

EPISODE 356

On today’s episode of In Love with the Process, host Mike Pecci dives deep into the sonic world of cinema with two incredible guests — Raul Vega, the sound designer and instrument creator for Hans Zimmer, and Mike Tran, the composer and sound designer behind all of Pecci’s films.

This is a full-on sound nerd’s dream episode. The trio gets deep into how sound can completely transform a moment in film — from subtle emotional cues to massive sonic landscapes. They break down the meticulous, often mind-bending process of designing sound effects and crafting original scores, and what it takes to work in the high-output world of Hans Zimmer.

They also dig into the audio design and musical genius behind films like Dune, Dunkirk, Top Gun: Maverick, and Formula 1, exploring how Zimmer’s team builds living, breathing digital instruments that push cinematic sound to the next level.

If you’re a fan of movie scores, a composer in the making, or just curious about how the magic happens behind some of cinema’s most iconic moments — this episode is absolutely for you.
