"Music is obviously a huge part of KPop Demon Hunters. Songs are how the Huntr/x girls connect to their human fans and keep hordes of demons from entering the mortal realm. But beneath KPop Demon Hunters ' banging soundtrack, there is also a rich tapestry of sounds that each play a role in bringing the movie's world of magic and monsters to life."
"The job of crafting those sonic elements fell to Michael Babcock, a saxophonist-turned-sound designer whose past works includes The First Omen, , and Dune: Part Two. As a professional musician in his own right, working on a project like KPop Demon Hunters gave Babcock a choice opportunity to flex his creative muscles in ways that other types of movies don't always lend themselves to."
" "Of all the things that I've worked on in my career, this is probably the most wonderfully difficult because every single aspect of the sound had to work with each other," Babcock said. "The music had to feed the sound design. The design had to feed the music and dialogue. It all had to be very, very cohesive.""
Music anchors KPop Demon Hunters, connecting the Huntr/x girls to human fans and preventing demon invasions through songs. Michael Babcock, a saxophonist-turned-sound designer with credits including The First Omen and Dune: Part Two, designed the film's sonic elements by leveraging his musician background. The production required technical creativity to complement an already-complex K-pop soundtrack while maintaining cohesion among music, sound effects, and dialogue. Co-directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans provided storyboards and sound ideas early in production, prompting fully-produced K-pop songs alongside layered sound design to animate the movie's magic and monsters.
