I am a professional sound designer and composer for theatre and film. I have designed
sound systems and created original music, ambiences and effects for over 100 staged
productions and musicals. I have done location sound mixing, boom, audio post
and re-recording for film and other video media, including television segments and
vodcasts for The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation.
I use sound, music and silence to enhance storytelling and to evoke emotional
and physiological responses in my audience. I feel that by
understanding text, collaborators, and audience,
I can bring my musicality to bear on the ears and the psyches of my listeners,
creating physiological experiences that can be aching, melancholy,
terrible and sublime.
I have a special interest in education and mentorship,
and have worked extensively in university settings.
