Creative Highlights

This was a fulfilling project that had very little in the way of sound effects, even thought the Alzheimer's creation myth at the shows's heart was full of animals - the director and I discussed very early on that the sounds the animals made would be fully scored with instruments. A beautiful white egret was a flute. The melancholy mole that digs and happens to find a box full of the forest animals' memories and devours them - he was a clarinet. The deer were spritely oboes, and so on. I had done several fairly electronic shows prior to this one, and as a lifelong band kid, this orchestral score felt like returning to my roots at the time.
