Sound

Sound Design

•Dissonant Sub bass rumble to set the mood for scenes of 'Evil'. •'Blue bottle in a jar'to mix with sub bass at certain points. •Cliché summers day. •Fanfare, for kings entrance.(Choice of Hercules) •Bleek outdoor scape, With distant crow sound. •Second fanfare. (changed) •‘Grey’ Seaside. •Outdoor garden with bees/flys. •'La Bouree' (17th century music) for banquet scene. •Crow and bleek outdoors again. •Outdoor gentle rain and distant thunder.

Hugh expressed that he wished to draw upon the initial sounds, of a sub rumble and a fly buzz, throughout the show at various points, so to connote the ‘evil’ behind king Charles. Other sounds in the show are mainly to set the scene as there is no set changes through the show. This explains the very literal sounds included at points.

System design

Aims

•To achieve a clear and obvious stereo field. For panning of Fly cues and birds. As well as all other recordings being stereo.

•A prominent and spead low end. Necessary for the large amount of sub bass cues.

•The option to make sounds seem distant and nonspecific. For Fly cues, thunder, rain and crows.

Plans to achieve Aims

• Using the Existing Tron FOH system for Stereo L+R.

• 2x T&M 2x15" Subs booked, One on either side of the stage in the wings.

 To provide the spread and prominant low end required.

• Rigging 2x T&M 112 On the Tension wire Grid, Pointing at the Trons Dome.

 I believed this would create the non directionality i required for 
   certain cues.
