Stillborn

About six months ago, my friend Monika emailed me, wondering if I was still in Austin. She’d been talking to a group of theatre people and everyone else in this group insisted that I’d moved to New York.

Now, I know that I’ve been less than active in theater scene lately, but I didn’t know that I’d vanished in many people’s minds. Fast forward to a few months ago when Ms. Bustamante asked me to do the sound design of her play, Stillborn.

I was also lucky enough to do the visual design (poster, postcard, etc.).

I’ll be honest, the sound design kicked my butt. There were many nights this week that I stayed up way too late working on various pieces and effects. But, and I suppose that this is the most important part, I learned so much. Keep it simple because the simplest solution is always the best.

(Thanks, Jim for the FM radio transmitter loan.)
