Etta Ermini Dance Theatre - 'Fixed Wheel'
Music and sound for 'Fixed Wheel', which was shown at The Blue Elephant Theatre on 3rd and 4th April 2008. The piece has also been performed in Belgium, Romania and Switzerland.
"I approached the sound design and composition from a mindset that was very integrated with the theme of an obsessional bike geek. All the sounds (with no exception!) were recorded from bikes and bike parts, and then collected to form a library of sounds and loops. Two short pieces of incedental music were also chosen and processed."
