Five-time Grammy award-winning recording and mix engineer, Geoff Foster, has been a household name in the film scoring world since 1994 when he engineered the soundtrack for Stargate.
Geoff's three-decades-worth body of work includes a remarkable range of genres and stylistic expressions from the critically-acclaimed, The Dark Knight, Inception, and Black Swan, to the top-grossing, The Pirates of the Caribbean series, to cult classics like Moulin Rouge. A vehement believer in music as a storytelling medium, his technical and artistic merit has been recognised with many a Grammy, Oscar, BAFTA, Golden Globe, and Golden Reels nomination and award.
In 2021, Geoff recorded the score for the latest Bond film, his 6th, as well as the orchestral elements for Billie Eilish's No Time To Die, now a Grammy, Golden Globe and Academy Award-winner. In 2022, Geoff engineered Volker Bertelmann's BAFTA and Academy Award-winning score for All Quiet on the Western Front. Most recently in 2024, Geoff engineered Count of Monte Cristo by Jérôme Rebotier and Kung Fu Panda 4 by Hans Zimmer & Steve Mazzaro.
Perhaps unsurprisingly for someone whose modus operandi is all technical and artistic flexibility, engineering to Geoff remains a judgment-free space for collective experimentation and creativity - both sides of the glass.
His all-time favourite, though there is certainly no shortage of career highlights, is recording Joni Mitchell performing Both Sides Now live, accompanied by Herbie Hancock on piano, Chuck Berghofer on bass, Pete Erskin on drums, and a 40-piece orchestra playing Vince Mendoza's arrangements.
