An Academy Award–winning sound designer known for his innovative and immersive approach to sound. He won the Oscar for Best Sound for Sound of Metal (2020), a landmark film praised for redefining how sound can convey subjective experience and emotional perspective.
His work spans film, contemporary art, installation, and experimental performance, often exploring sound as a physical and perceptual phenomenon rather than a purely narrative tool. Becker has collaborated with directors such as Denis Villeneuve (Arrival), Gaspar Noé (Enter the Void), and Andrea Arnold, and with artists including Philippe Parreno, Doug Aitken, and choreographer Damien Jalet.
Beyond cinema, his practice extends to large-scale exhibitions and live performances, where sound operates as an architectural and sensory element. Becker is recognised for pushing the boundaries between sound design, music, and spatial audio, and for his commitment to experimentation as a core creative methodology.
