Joshua Hemming

Joshua Hemming—yeah, the guy’s been mixing up soundtracks and soundscapes way before it was cool to do it on a Mac. Toronto’s his stomping ground, but honestly, you can hear his fingerprints all over the place. Back in ‘93, while everyone else was probably just figuring out floppy disks, he was already messing with music software, diving deep. Over the years, he’s been the guy behind the curtain on a ton of projects—movies, animations, web series, TV, you name it. His style? Versatile. Sometimes it’s subtle, sometimes it just jumps out and grabs you. People probably know him best for his work on “Walking Supply” from 2023—think tense, weirdly haunting sound design that lingers after the credits. Before that, he did “Be Still” in 2021, which had this atmospheric vibe, kinda meditative but never boring. And then there’s “Liompa” back in 2014, which is honestly just pure Hemming: experimental, moody, and super textured. He’s not just about making noise fit the visuals—he builds a whole mood. If you’ve ever watched something he’s scored, that feeling you get? That’s intentional. He gets how sound can mess with your head in the best way. Hemming’s been in the game long enough to know all the tricks, but he still manages to surprise you. Not bad for a dude who started out noodling on an old Mac in the ‘90s.
