Within the Ice

Over the summer of 2019, I was lucky enough to be able to work on a short play written by one of my friends from school, and produced as part of the New York Theatre Festival’s Summerfest series. My role was an aglomeration of sound designer, composer, and sound operator along with lighting designer, stage manager and lighting operator . The show was a short Lovecraftian horror thriller set aboard a stranded antarctic expedition in the early 20th Century.

I created poster art, a musical theme, and sound effects for the production. The show opened with a slightly shortened variant of the theme over which played a narration done by the chair of our school’s theatre department, which is playable from the link below. Although running sound and lighting during a show can be incredibly stressful, this was without a doubt one of the most fun and rewarding collaborative projects I’ve been part of.

Music

Rejoicing of the Elves

With a pure note that echoes across the woods, the King of the Elves calls his people to the forest’s heart for celebration under the year’s first full moon. The land is green and lush with fey magic, and as the moon rises, the festivity gives way to ancient ritual known only to the elders of the elven circles. Gifts of magic flash to the sky as the moon reaches its peak, and the dancing resumes, the night illuminated by flickering flame and the pure light of the moon.

Clockwork Alchemy

Many wonders reside in the workshop of a master artificer. Clockwork marvels tick gently on crooked shelves and mysterious potions bubble in arcane distilleries. The old master himself whistles merrily at his bench, working away at his latest creation, gears littering his worktable and sparks flying from his ever busy tools.

Deep in a Mystic Wood

Deep in the heart of an ancient wood live wondrous things. Spirits roam free, and magical creatures wander the land. Wise old trees stretch to the sky, and fireflies drift through the deep shadows of evening. Faeries flit from tree to tree, and nature’s magic hangs in the very air.
