Something In Your Voice was a show by Emergency Chorus, still in development. I collaborated on the development of the show, and composed the sound for the most recent showing.
Welcome to the Big Show (Gara Lonning); 2023
A little snippet from the big guitar build up moment towards the end of the show
I sound designed this show for Gara Lonning, which premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe, and is currently touring.
Welcome to the Big Show was a hybrid between stand up and theatre, moving from a place of stand up and towards a more familiar fringe solo show. This placed different strictures on the sound design - comedy demands silence, or sudden drops away in sound to meet a punchline. I attempted to be nimbler with the sound cues to meet this demand.
The final section of the piece, a standuop breakdown in a Trader Joe’s, was more extensively scored. Layers and layers of guitars built up a chugging rock instrumental heavily inspired by Patti Smith’s Horses, building eventually to an overdubbed version of The Boy With Perpetual Nervousness. Voiceover featured heavily.
