ABOUT

Back Pocket Sound is an independent sound effects company founded by Canadian sound designer, dialogue editor and re-recording mixer Ben Spiller. With more than 15 years of experience in audio post-production, Ben has worked across film, television and commercial projects at Toronto studios including RHC Music, Wanted Sound and Picture, and Eggplant Music & Sound.

“I’ve always preferred recording my own sounds whenever I can rather than reaching for an existing library. Over the years, that approach led to a growing collection of original recordings — and eventually the idea for Back Pocket Sound: a way to share those sounds with friends, colleagues and other sound people.”

Good sound starts with good source material.

Back Pocket Sound is built around both sides of that process — recording original sound effects and putting them to work in audio post-production. From capturing something in the field to shaping it in the studio, it all comes down to finding the right sound for the project.
