Design Statement

Seascape is a blend of atmospheric and environmental sounds fused together in order to capture the ambient mood of the physical interpretation of the Greek mythological tale of The Odyssey.   The text used in production was inspired by the work of Homer and unveils the journey of the ancient travelers and the women left behind. 

The soundscape explores natural, ecological sea sounds at the beginning as the travelers set off, which was represented and supported by the sounds produced from the large polythene sheet, creating the atmospheric environment intended by the director.  Inspired by the works of sound recordists, Chris Watson and John Leonard, the live recordings were later manipulated producing an almost rhythmic underscore to the work and this was ultimately the foundation for the physical interpretation on stage.
