Pete Malkin is a London-based theatre and film sound designer. He has worked extensively with the directors Clint Dyer and Simon McBurney, and won a Tony Award for his work on Complicité's The Encounter.
Early life
[edit]Malkin played guitar in a band as a teenager, before going on to study Music Technology at College. He then studied Theatre Sound at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama[1]. In his final year he went on a work placement on Complicité's show, The Master and Margarita, leading to further work with the company.
Career
[edit]In 2012, he worked on the Opening Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games.
He spoke out in 2016 about the Tony Award committee's decision to remove the sound design award, saying "it’s very clear that [sound design is] an art form in itself"[1]. The following April, the Tony Awards committee reinstated the award following widespread industry backlash[2]. Malkin was awarded a Special Tony Award for his work on The Encounter which featured sound design as a key component of the show, with the entire audience wearing headphones for the show, using binaural sound[3].
In 2016, he worked on Harry Potter and the Cursed Child in London, then in Broadway in 2017, and on subsequent productions[4].
He has co-designed several shows with Benjamin Grant, including the Death of England cycle of plays at the Royal National Theatre[5].
Composition
[edit]Malkin also writes music for film and media, published by Evolving Sound. It has been featured in trailers for The Rings Of Power, Season 2, The Front Room and The House of the Dragon[6].
Awards
[edit]He was awarded the 2016 Evening Standard Award, 2017 Special Tony Award[3], 2017 Drama Desk Award[7] and the 2017 Helpmann Award for Sound Design, with Gareth Fry, for Complicite's The Encounter[8].
He was nominated for the 2016 Off West End Award for Home Chat, the 2017 Outer Critics Circle Award for The Encounter, the 2017 Broadway World UK Award for The Kid Stays in the Picture, the 2019 Theatre & Technical award for Creative Innovation in Sound for The Unreturning, and a 2020 Off West End award nomination for The Unreturning[9].
