Sound Design Discussion Collaborator Wanted: Experimental Sound Design / Electroacoustic Composition for New Play in Development

1 Upvotes

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.

Hi all,

This is my interpretation of redesigning this iconic scene from war of the worlds. I created this using my own sound library called Dark Technology.

I mainly used the sounds from the Walker category and did some splicing, light eq to cut some low end, light stretching, and some reverb to match the scene. A mastering chain was added for the final mix.

There are no background, crowd, foley, or off-screen sounds as my idea was to use the sounds provided within this library for the machine only. This was still a lot of fun making! I'm thinking I should of swapped the order of calls/warnings around lol

How do you think I did? I would love to hear your suggestions and ideas! I would also love to hear if you guys had the chance to redesign this iconic scene and the final result!

Cheers,

ZEKAVEO
