    To create the concert scenes in Moonage Daydream, we had to separate the music stems from the room and the crowds. To create authentic reverb, the sound team rented a football stadium and played the full mix through the PA, recording the ambience on 12 mics. Here’s Jean Genie!

    When we put out a collection of Kurt’s demos and works-in-progress it was my hope that the album would give a glimpse into Kurt’s processs, but also hoped that the right artist could find inspiration and perhaps expand upon Kurt’s musical ideas. That artist is @KiDCuDi 🔥🔥🔥

    Moonage Daydream took over a year to write and was the most challenging assignment of my career. Heartfelt thanks to the WGA for acknowledging the effort and nominating Moonage Daydream for Best Documentary screenplay this year.

    I would like to thank my peers in the Academy for shortlisting Moonage Daydream in two categories: Best Documentary and Sound. I am so grateful for your consideration and support. It’s particularly thrilling to see any documentary receive consideration in a craft category!

    Woke up to learn I received 4 Emmy nominations! Thanks to the TV Academy and HBO for supporting Moonage Daydream! And thank you to David Bowie for challenging and inspiring all of us who worked on the film. Congrats to all the nominees, esp our sound team!

    Like millions of people, Kurt suffered. Don't shy from his truth, learn from it. #WorldSuicidePreventionDay

    @KidCudi sampling Kurt and montage of heck for his new song “Cudi Montage” is sublime. Coincidentally, Cudi was the first person I played that music for. Literally. Took the compilation to his studio the day I had my first pass. I knew no one would appreciate like him.

    I would like to thank all of you for all the love and support you’ve shared with me these past 6 months. Working with David Bowie’s archives was the greatest privilege of my career.
