Well, this is interesting - my first foray into the world of theatre as a sound artist. Not only that as there is no PA in the venue the sound will be created entirely acoustically. I am working with a more recent collaborator on this - Seth Guy - who was a member of London Concrete. Like me, Seth studied visual art but ended up playing music. We're collaborating on other projects at the moment with a far more visual bent but for this one, it's all sound.
The play is called Und and will be performed in Bristol at the Paintworks.
We went through the script and the musical direction and it looks like we're going to have a lot of fun. The space is something like 160 x 100 x 10m so must have amazing natural reverb. The audience will be moving around following the one actor who is performing a monologue and the whole thing will be lit with torchlight.
Expect lots of scraping metal, bowed objects, breaking glass and who knows what else - depends what we can find in the local scrapyards and charity shops.
