Sirens was a big undertaking as it was nearly an hour and a half show and has music or sound throughout. 

It was fun playing with where the line between sound and music is and how those two merge. I created a lot of ambient textures which could turn into music or simple background sound when necessary.

​

Being through composed it gave me the chance to really support and tell the entire story with sound.

​

Sirens was also completely accessible for d/Deaf, hard-of-hearing and hearing audiences, and one of the cast was profoundly Deaf. I had a lot of fun using really subby bass and low frequency sounds, as these are often easier to hear or to feel the vibrations for some d/Deaf or hard-of-hearing people.

​

The challenge was using these low frequency sounds, subby bass and strong drum beats without making it too intense for any of the audience. An exciting challenge!
