From this month's (July 2002) Mix magazine Blair Jackson interviews Skip Lievsay about sound design in Men In Black II One of his recent favorites is a very retro sounding analog synth that is "a new iteration of what is essentially a Buchla module from a company called Wiard - this guy from Milwaukee named Grant Richter makes them in his house. They're very modular, old fashioned patchboard-type analog synths. They use control voltage instead of MIDI; it's ancient technology - it feels like Forbidden Planet all over again. In [Men in Black II] there is a sense that some of the supposedly futuristic technology has been around for quite a while, and these sounds help to get that across to the audience. It also adds a little humor, we hope, which is definitely a part of these films."
