Athol Fugard’s Blood Knot, Platypus Theater

I made music for the Platypus Theater production of Athol Fugard’s Blood Knot, directed by Kenneth Phillips and played by Peter Scollin, Thabo Thindi and Tom Pawlak, and now I’ve released it in “Album” format via Bandcamp:

The Call, Platypus Theater

I wrote and produced music for The Call, a play written by Peter Scollin, directed by Anja Scollin, played by Amy Nye, Ben Maddox and Oskar Brown, and premiering on the 9th December, 2011. I’ve now converted it into an “album” and released it over Bandcamp:

The piece was nominated for the IKARUS – der Berliner Theaterpreis für herausragende Inszenierungen von Berliner Theatern für Kinder und Jugendliche.

Was geschah mit dem Bohnenpaar?

I made music and sound for a play in German for children aged 4 and up for Platypus Theater. The piece is about two beans who need to learn to sprout so they can survive the winter.
Some excerpts from the premiere in May 2011:

Tortilla Curtain with Platypus Theater

A new play with Platypus Theater.. This time a piece for young adults, an adaptation of T. C. Boyle’s book “Tortilla Curtain”. I contributed the music and sound effects and coached the actors’ musical performance.

Some excerpts from the premiere on 4/11/2010:

The voice of actress Andrea Pani Laura was featured extensively, who plays the role of “America”.

I used numerous samples from freesound.org for the job (see attributions), along with my own field recordings, all of which I mashed together into a delicious Brei.
