Research and influence.

When it comes to foley artists and musicians that inspire me, I instantly think about the film Swiss army man.  The film Swiss army man has a lot of foley in it and involves a lot of funny sounds.
It is about a man who finds a very flatulent corpse and brings him along with him on his journeys, dubbing him, "The Swiss Army Man" because of the seemingly whimsical uses the corpse has.

I like this film and see this as sound inspiration because besides the graphic foley that is in this movie, it has also got probably some of the best movie soundtracks I have ever heard.

The Composer for the film Swiss army man is Called Andy Hull and is usually better known for his band, "Manchester Orchestra".

The sound tracks are a compilation of sounds and acapella overlaid on each other to create some really great pieces, there was no instruments used in the making of the music.


Here is a trailer for the movie, there is a lot of sounds in this to demonstrate both the foley and the nature of the tracks.




This is also a video behind the scenes of how they achieved some of the effects, there wasn't particularly much about the sounds collected in the behind the scenes unfortunately and there isn't really much to find about the foley artists at all.





Here is a list of the sound crew that I found for this movie, sourced from IMDB, Here.
