Bodies of Water

For this show I composed and programmed a pre-recorded multi speaker surround sound design that could tour with the show and be triggered via CueLab. Because of the nature of the work I needed to compose a sound score that was flexible enough to have moveable cues. Through programming different sonic layers that where cued at different times I was able to create an organic and responsive sonic score. I worked with technician Jamie Grier to set up the six touring speakers and some of the natural sampled sounds where recorded by Jamie McCarthy.

A collaboration between myself, Saffy Setohy, Aya Kobayashi and Joanna Young. Bodies of Water is a playful multi-sensory experience weaving together dance, performance, sound and visual art.
