"Inner Conversation"

This was a commission for a dance piece at Illinois State University. The choreographer wanted to add simple pauses into the track that would then be filled in with a live actor reading a script. The addition of the simple layered sound effects was added to bring the viewers out of the momentum of the track and to bring attention to the vocal reading.

Fairytale

This was a commission for a dance piece at Illinois State University. The choreographer asked for a soundscape using multiple different bells that randomly come and go. The first time she heard this track was during the dress rehearsal. Her main idea was to have a soundscape that she could do live improvisation too.
