Marc Bayard LoCascio
Audio Engineer
A native of New Orleans who grew up surrounded by ritual and pageantry, Marc got his education at the MIT Media Lab, studying computer music as well as filmmaking under cinema verité pioneer Ricky Leacock. Ricky’s guiding search for “the feeling of being there” has shaped his art ever since. He currently develops Dolby Atmos immersive audio software for major motion pictures, music mixes, and video games — when he is not recording bands or concerts or doing live sound or creating art installations. He is based in a mad art scientist workshop and sound studio in Sebastopol, CA.
