La Playlist Invisible by Paul Lucas – Nicolas Becker
For this second edition of “The Invisible Playlist,” Paul Lucas invites composer and sound designer Nicolas Becker. An insatiable collector of sounds, his work includes sound supervision on films such as La Haine, The Pianist, Gravity, and Arrival, among others. He won an Academy Award (Oscar) and a BAFTA Award for his work on Sound of Metal by Darius Marder in 2020.
The scope of his activities is impressive. When he is not working with artist Philippe Parreno or filmmaker Alejandro González Iñárritu, Nicolas Becker performs on stage with The New Atlantis, a variable geometry group. The Frenchman also created the label Invisible Mountain with two English friends and enjoys acclimating in situ to the universe of the projects he immerses himself in. Even though he never wears headphones outside of the studio to stay directly connected with the world around him, Nicolas Becker has crafted an exclusive playlist for CRAVAN, featuring some of his favorite artists as well as sounds and music not available on any platform, representing what he considers most precious: the place and moment where you hear them.
