4:49 Psychosis
Media and System Design
UNC Charlotte, 2012
Media Design and Projections Systems Design
In 2014, I was the sound and media designer for a production of Sarah Kane's 4:48 Psychosis. I was drawn to a video I had found online of an individual wrecking and playing a burning piano - and it resonated with the rest of the creative team. We were able to get a small piano donated, and with some help from the campus safety team, were able to burn it on campus. I then utilized the resulting video and audio recordings in the show.

System Design
UNC Charlotte, 2012
Media and Sound Systems Design
The University of North Carolina at Charlotte did an "enhanced technology" setting of Romeo and Juliet in the spring of 2012. I was responsible for designing the audio and media playback systems. Video playback involved four projectors on three screens. A Mac Pro tower provided audio playback and MIDI triggering (via QLab) of 3 additional machines running QLab for video playback.
Project Hope
System Design
UNC Charlotte, 2011
Media System Design
Project Hope was a new work devised as part of a project called "Violins of Hope" at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. In addition to designing sound for the production, I was in charge of designing a simple system for playback of still images to a unique, frosted plexiglass screen in the space. As I was already using QLab for audio playback, I added in another machine running Arkaos VJ,. and triggered it via MIDI from the audio machine.
