Across The Hills

Lullaby

Pur Ti Miro (Monteverdi Arr. O'Neill)

All of these sounds were created with Apple Loops. The original concept was to use interactive sound within the production, meaning that we needed loop-based material that could build on itself as needed. As such, I created files constructed of loops in anticipation of deconstructing them once the interactivity was in place. As the interactivity was not fully recognized, these files actually made it into the show.

Along with these tracks, I constructed others to accompany the singing that happens in the play (I also wrote the melodies), but as I have not obtained rights to use the lyrics, I will not post those.

Tracks were played through QLab, and based on the performance, would fade in and fade out through cues written in QLab. While I tried to make the files sound finished, they often did not play all the way through.

Perfect Love Dance

Perfect Love Ominous Wedding

For this opening theme, we used Other Side of the Mirror to bring the performers on stage. The main idea of the song is a woman who looks in the mirror and wishes she had the strength that she sees on the other side.

After the lyrics comes the first narration of the show. We let this opening cue be relatively long to get the performers on stage and so that they could get settled and focused once they got on. Many of the performers had not been on stage before, and given that they were about to perform deeply personal stories, we wanted to give them some time to adjust to the space.
Speaking Without Tongues was originally produced in 2008 in Carrboro, NC by Hidden Voices.

SWT Opening

Files used within Speaking Without Tongues. "Take Me Down to the River" is loaded a second time, as I modified a term within the song to fit the show. When I wrote the song, the participants did not like the line "For all of those I've sinned against," and they came up with the line "Wash away that voice, those hands." That is what we used in the show.
