Sigur Ros Mixes Film at MI
Aug 10, 2007

At the beginning of August, MI welcomed the internationally-renowned Icelandic band Sigur Ros (pictured l-r Biggi (engineer), Kjartan (keys), Orri (drums)) to MI to complete final mixes for their new concert film entitled Heima. FilmIT director Alan Calzatti traveled to Iceland to serve as Director of Photography on the film, and RIT instructor Mehdi Hassine carried out the 5.1 surround mix as well as dialog and sound-effects editing in MI’s Studio B (click here for a link to the trailer).

Heima, set for release on November 5, was filmed in various locations, and features some of the biggest and smallest shows of the band’s career. Drummer Orri Páll Dýrason told NME.COM: "It was good to film it in our home country, sometimes we were playing these big shows and then we were playing in those really small fields, which was beautiful. It was fun doing those shows, especially in front of our friends. Really nice."
