“It’s hilarious because that one thing you pour your heart into is just going to be completely covered by an explosion”: Yvette Young on what it was like to record guitar for James Gunn's Superman

Yvette Young of Covet performs during Swanfest at Heart Health Park on April 23, 2022 in Sacramento, California.

Have you ever wondered what goes into recording electric guitar for a movie soundtrack – especially a big-budget one? Yvette Young has lifted the veil on exactly what that entails, as well as the level of detail and gear required to make movie soundtrack magic happen.

In a YouTube video reflecting on the opportunity and the process, Young says, “Never in my life would I have thought I would be involved with the music for the new James Gunn Superman movie. And I have the wonderful David Fleming [composer] to thank for that.”
