For JUAN AND EMMETT, directed by Kelley Johnston, we wanted to create a sound that was both intimate and beautiful, yet had a slightly understated bit of dissonance - a sense of disturbance within something seemingly simple and delicate.
Here are some samples |

For PROOF, we wanted to create a complicated yet beautiful world. Interconnected and simple in its complexity.

For Equus, we wanted to create a unique world, one that was both magical and one that felt enormous pressure. Using sound, we created two basic motifs: one of an Exultant nature, and one of a very Dark nature. Throughout the play, these to themes defined themselves, and blurred themselves. Here you have a sample of the Exultant, and of the Dark. |

DOUBLES CROSSED: THE BALLAD OF RODRIGO
|
Doubles Crossed: The Ballad of Rodrigo, written by Jason Grossman, was a neo-film-noire theatrical adaptation. Jason created a beautiful stylized script, that fully embodied the film-noire of old, with a slight modern take Using sound, I wanted to create a theme that would play throughout the piece, with various variations to book end each scene. Here you have our opening moment, our prologue, which was designed to a memory of our antagonist, Rodrigo, recalling his fathers voice against our main theme. You then have various variations of our theme, orchestrated variously. |

Lickspittles, Buttonholers, and Damned Pernicious GoBetweens, written by Johnna Adams, is a Napoleonic War era, triple-adversarial, espionage/romantic comedy thriller in Alexandrine verse.
While the majority of the play is brilliant in its unabashed absurdity, there is a series of moments just prior to the finale that is quite sincere and somber. The music to the right underscores the beginning of this series of events. This moment begins with the rebuilding of Marie Antoinette, as a marionette. The verse is quite unique, and of course describing the visual for what we see while we hear what we hear is quite impossible. I normally don't quote directly the text of a play, but in this particular case, I see no other way. The below is an excerpt from the play, the text is written by and fully owned by Johnna Adams: GUTHBERT: Close your eyes, so the harm I've done, I can undo. CANDINE closes her eyes and sights. GUTHBERT motions to the hold. STUB and PEDER enter, as they were told, with a couple of mops, some rope, a pail. They assemble a sort of mannequin near the rail. STUB takes out Marie Antoinette's wax head. It's no longer a fright, but instead a delight. The head has been dramatically transformed, a spectacular alteration performed. There is now an enormous wig of colorful hair twisted and curled with great care. The wig is adorned with birds and flowers. Someone has painted the face to erase Marie's final hours. CHRISTIENNE and EGLANTINE run in , too, the long, fanciful dress they hold makes its debut. The four of them put the head, dress and form together with flare. When they are done, Marie Antoinette has been conjured from air. CANDINE: This is ridiculous. This is some trick. More cruelty and spite. My god, you're a creature of lies! GUTHBERT: But not a cold-hearted villain. You can open your eyes. CANDINE opens her eyes. She gasps in surprise. The Copenhagen skyline come into sight. Dawn paints the ship in soft, pink light. |

The Other Day, written by Mark Williams, is a piece that follows the story of Mark and Santo, as they embark on journey through love, insecurities, addiction, betrayal, loss, and redemption.
Using sound, we wanted to create a sense of the passing of time, while attempting to develop a sound that could also make us feel as though we were experiencing the memory of the story, through Mark and Santo. We wanted to create a sound that was rhythmic, interesting, but wouldn't drive the piece itself, and would rather let the piece drive the music. Here are several samples from the music we created for this piece. |
