Things that go beep in the night
I have just completed a sound design for Project Branded at Tron Theatre.
The show, performed by Tron Skillshops, examined what society would be like if there was no individuality and all young people were identical.
Barcodes became more and more significant as imagery in the piece, which was reflected in the superb set design by Peter Screen.
It seemed only fitting that the sound design should incorporate the beep of a barcode scanner.
This soundscape was made by sampling a barcode scanner sound and playing it back at different pitches.
These sounds were then re-sampled and processed in various ways including delay and pitch shifting. The processed sounds were then layered up to create texture and movement within the soundscape.
The pad and drone textures were created in Logic softsynth Sculpture.
