Craig Carter.
The late Craig Carter, who died in 2017, was regarded one of Australia’s most distinguished sound designers.
As a designer, recordist and editor, Carter worked on more than 100 productions, winning multiple AFI Awards, including best sound (with collaborators) for Rabbit-Proof Fence, The Lighthorsemen, Ground Zero and Malcolm.
Throughout his career he recorded an extensive range of sound effects and atmospheres, which up until recently sat on a series of hard drives.
With permission from Craig’s wife Fiona, his brother-in-law James Harvey and Niels Gabriels – both fellow sound designers – have spent the last few months curating a catalogue that encapsulates the best of Carter’s recordings.
The total 190Gb collection, which spans 3,870 wav files and more than 10,000 sounds, is now available to the independent sound community. Various libraries include apes, chimpanzees and gorillas; Australia; industrial; hospitals; prisons; maritime; schools; wind; trains, and insects.

Whereas in cinema, we start to move into the more traditional role of what music does, which is try and describe the emotional state somebody is in and take up the storytelling, and that.s what we were trying to do with The Slap and I think we got there..
