As reported by Wired.com, a new site called SoundWorks Collection puts a spotlight on the sound design & designers of J.J. Abrams's "Star Trek".

In this interesting Video profile we learn that J.J. originally didn't want to put sound in space. In fact they originally looked at the the opening sequence with the Kelvin and Narada without any sound effects. "There was so much interesting action and visual effects happening in space that we've got to do something with sound" says supervising sound editor Mark Stoeckinger.

In this sound for film video profile we answer the question, “Is there sound in outer space?” and “If there is sound in space, what does it sound like?”

The “Star Trek” sound team including Supervising Sound Editor Mark Stoeckinger, Supervising Sound Editor Alan Rankin, Sound Designer Scott Gershin, Sound Designer Ann Scibelli, and Sound Designer Tim Walston talk about the approach and sound design behind the eleventh film based on the Star Trek franchise directed by J.J. Abrams. (source SoundWorks Collection via Wired)
