Australia’s most awarded sound designer, Simon Kane, is leaving Nylon Studios after just 18 months to return to Song Zu.
He will take over the Zu’s flagship room, Studio 1, (pictured left) from the 18th of April.
Says Kane: “The guys made it clear when I left, that the door would be left slightly ajar should I wish to return at a later date. I’ve been following closely the work of their new composers (Nathan Cavaleri, Hadyn Walker and Eden) having worked on a quite a few jobs where they have won the music side and I’ve been really impressed."
Kane, whose awards for sound design include Gold Clios, New York Festivals, London Internationals and numerous local awards will join Song Zu’s existing sound designers, Rod Enright and Dee Gjedsted, an ex-Duffield Kenihan sound designer who recently re-located from Melbourne.
Says Zu managing director Ian Lew: “We’re absolutely ecstatic to have Simon back. We’ve now got our dream team in place, brand new studios and a great working environment all round."
