REPTILE sound design // NIN feat. Mike James Gallagher of INDEPTH Sound Design

I had a conversation/geek-out fest with Netflix Song Exploder sound designer Mike James Gallagher about the powerful and evocative sound design Reptile, with its mechanized drum groove and unsettling effects, and here is some of that conversation. And yes, Mike is the sound designer of the Song Exploder episode on "Hurt", and a big NIN fan himself! His YouTube channel is like mine but for sound design deconstruction in cinema so you GOTTA check it out and subscribe (links below)! The full 77-minute extended cut, with background on cinematic sound design and The Downward Spiral sound design, is available on my Patreon:   / iximusic  
NOTE: My usual harmonic analysis (with more thoughts on sound design because yo know me I can't help myself) is available here:    • "REPTILE" musical analysis by compose...  
Thanks so much Mike for sharing your awesome insights with us and for that killer ending! ;)
Thanks also to Manu who made the TDS samples video I uh, sampled (with permission)! You might find out about some other amazing references - check it out:    • The Downward Spiral - Nine Inch Nails...
