Composer News - BBC2's How Earth Made Us sound design by Dan Weinberg

With spectacular images, surprising stories and a compelling narrative, Professor Iain Stewart tells the epic story of how the planet has shaped human history.

In this first episode, Iain explores the relationship between the deep Earth and the early development of human civilisation. He visits an extraordinary crystal cave in Mexico, drops down a hole in the Iranian desert and crawls through seven-thousand-year-old tunnels in Israel. His exploration reveals that throughout history, our ancestors were strangely drawn to fault lines, areas which connect the surface with the deep interior of the planet. These fault lines gave access to important resources, but also brought with them great danger.

Dan worked on the sound design and mixed the entire series in 5.1
