Team

Randall Dunn

Dunn has worked with filmmakers Guillermo Del Toro, Julio Torres, Harmony Korine, Panos Cosmatos, Benny Safdie, Nathan Fielder, and Emma Stone. His production and co-composition of Jóhann Jóhannsson’s score for Cosmatos’ 2018 film Mandy won multiple awards and nominations from the Austin Film Critics Association, Fangoria Chainsaw Awards, the Seattle Film Critics Society, the Chicago Film Critics Association, and the Hollywood Music in Media Awards.

Ben Greenberg

A Manhattan native and classically trained guitarist who studied composition at The New School, Greenberg is a producer, engineer, and songwriter with deep roots in underground music — a founding member of Uniform and a former member of The Men, Zs, and Hubble. He apprenticed under Grammy-winning engineer Mike Marciano at Systems Two, learning the fundamentals on 2″ tape, and now runs Brooklyn’s Python Patrol, with sessions at Electrical Audio, The Magic Shop, Strange Weather, The Pool, and Sonic Ranch. His credits span Danny Elfman, Depeche Mode, Drab Majesty, Show Me The Body, Junglepussy, Drew McDowall, Black Marble, and Christeene. He is principal engineer to composer Brian McComber’s scores — including the A24 films It Comes At Night and Krisha, Kingdom of Silence and 16 Shots (Showtime), Little Woods (Neon), Mickey and The Bear (Utopia), and Fair Play (Netflix) — and was Randall Dunn’s mix assistant on Mandy and co-engineer on Problemista. He has also mixed Ella Van Der Woude’s scores for Something You Said Last Night and Silver Haze. In 2024 he won the Cinema Audio Society award for Outstanding Achievement in Sound Mixing — Documentary, for his stereo and surround mixes of JD Samson’s score for Sam Green’s 32 Sounds.

Arjan Miranda

Arjan Miranda is a songwriter, composer, producer, and music editor (IATSE 700) based in Brooklyn, NY. He grew up touring the world in bands. He is fanatical about music and has a deep record collection built from a lifelong pursuit of digging, listening, and researching. He specializes in anything strange and heavy — freak folk, nostalgic cult phenomenons, lost VHS horror soundtracks, new age synth madness, 80s punk, and proto heavy metal. Recent projects include the score for How To Feed A Dictator, premiering at Tribeca 2026, contributing music to John Lilly and the Earth Coincidence Control Office, and music editing on Marty Supreme and The Smashing Machine.
