General info :
Walter Scott Murch (born July 12, 1943, New York City, New York, USA) is an American film editor and sound designer.
In 1979, he won an Oscar for the sound mix of Apocalypse Now as well as a nomination for picture editing.
Murch is widely acknowledged as the person who coined the term Sound Designer, and along with colleagues developed the current standard film sound format, the 5.1 channel array, helping to elevate the art and impact of film sound to a new level.
Apocalypse Now was the first multi-channel film to be mixed using a computerized mixing board.
In 1996, Murch worked on Anthony Minghella's The English Patient. Murch won Oscars both for his sound mixing and for his editing.
Murch's editing Oscar was the first to be awarded for an electronically edited film (using the Avid system), and he is the only person ever to win Oscars for both sound mixing and film editing.
