Sound Effect Creation
Most of the sound effects used were built specifically for the show and recorded in the studio using everyday objects. The flap of bird wings was created from slapping different gloves together; the wind was a series of towels, coats, and blankets combined with shaken leafy greens. Instruments were also added, such as the bells featured in the set design and singing bowls.
Object-Based Mixing
Inspired by USITT's 2023 SOUND X immersive experience, the 30-min pre-show track was built through the use of PanLab, which allows users to map out a space and move sound dynamically in any direction or pattern. The design of the stage was brought into the house audibly, with the stream that began on the set flowing out into the lower sets of seats and birds flying through the bells hung from the catwalks.
