New - Necessary Angel/ RMTC /Canstage
21/11/22
Sound design and music for Pamela Sinha's great new work, New. Director Alan Dilworth smartly directed this show about the Indian community in Winnipeg in the 1970's. Some great writing and chances for music to help set the tone and style for the show.
In the Fire - Femmes du Feu
18/11/22
Vocal score! I created music for Holly's lovely show about her firefighter father, George. It was a series of SATB vocal pieces for Opus 8 using text from George in interview and some I wrote mixed in with some instrumental music. Opus 8 sung live with Holly dancing and performing her circus routines. Here's the trailer with a song I wrote using George's verbatim text. Score available for those looking for a cappella pieces about firefighters….

Confluence - Anne Bourne/Bentway
29/09/22
I helped spatialize Anne Bourne's music for Confluence, at the Bentway as part of an installation. We took her cello and piano tracks and mixed them for a 16 channel immersive system underneath the Gardiner Expressway. Merging the music with the installation and working with the traffic sounds above our heads gave a surprisingly serene and beautiful atmosphere for the work.
Svaha - Nova Dance
21/09/22
Helped out Nova B and composer/performer Ed Hanley by doing a bit of sound design for Nova's excellent dance work at the Bluma Appel theatre. Helping mix in the sound of the dancers and Ed's live tabla, a dj and his recorded music was a total pleasure.

Richard III - Stratford
12/06/22
What an honour and privilege to get to work on this show!
Opening the brand new and beautiful sounding Tom Patterson Theatre, Antoni Cimolino's direction established a dark and beautiful world for Colm Feore and the cast.
I worked on the sound designer, with composer Bert Carriere, making use of the amazing new sound system and NS10 noise floor.
Really enjoyed using 7.1 wavs to create a full surround experience for the audience in that theatre.

Too True to be Good - Shaw
18/05/22
Shaw's play is a crazy tour of ideas, but perhaps the most fun and interesting way to get access to some of Shaw's philosophy.
Director Sanjay Talwar got the most of the cast and production for this show, total pleasure to work and watch.
