There’s another really amazing use of sound design by Kurosawa in the film Ikiru. The man is just finding out that he has terminal cancer. Kurosawa had the idea that you’re so lost in your own head, that you’re completely cut off from the environment. … All the visual cues he used from the background, from the welding arc, it was just brilliant. Kurosawa went directly to no noise, so there’s actually nothing in the soundtrack there.
