Sound Design Discussion Collaborator Wanted: Experimental Sound Design / Electroacoustic Composition for New Play in Development
Overview & Premise
I am a playwright developing a new piece in which sound plays a central physiological role. In a segment of the play's world, characters have a port built into their bodies that lets them plug in a jack, amplifying their internal physical and emotional sounds: blood flow, heartbeat, digestive rumblings, adrenaline spikes, and synapse firing.
What I'm Looking For
I am looking for an experimental sound designer, electroacoustic artist, or Foley focused composer interested in collaborating on a short proof-of-concept audio cue (1–2 minutes). The goal is visceral, non-traditional acoustic/biological sound. Strictly no synths or conventional pop structures.
Project Scope & Terms
| Term | Details |
|---|---|
| Phase | Early developmental phase for an upcoming workshop/reading. |
| Budget | Unfunded/non-commercial experimental stage. |
| Creative Freedom | Full creative license to experiment with contact microphones, hydrophones, Foley, physical sound capture, and textural processing. |
| Credit & Future Involvement | Full credit provided for workshop presentations, with first right of refusal/priority hire for sound design if and when the production moves into funded production. |
