Composition Intensive
My second year in graduate school led me to taking a year of an independent study in composition. This class was focused on developing composition and listening skills and applying them to theatrical sound design. One of the big pieces I developed in the class was a song based on A Raisin in the Sun. My goal was to create a song we could hear in the world of the play and then could potentially be broken up into transitions if needed. For my next production, Emilia, I will be using these skills to create original music for the show.

Custom Kontakt Instrument
This is Kontakt instrument that I created using various wine and champagne glasses. I recorded the samples, edited them, and ordered them according to their pitch. From there, I loaded the samples into Kontakt according to their corresponding note the pianoI expanded out the notes using Kontakt and created an garden ambience using the instrument.
