As the rehearsals have gone on in lesson times, we met up with Darren and discussed the technology that we would be using: the mixing desk, microphones, and headphones. We will also be using either a projector or a TV screen to show the visual aspects of sound (see image below).
The programme that will be used so that the audience will be able to see the sound is Audacity. There will be a direct link from a laptop to the screen/projector and this will be in the middle of the room. It’s good to use this as it can help to immerse the audience in the performance as they will be able to hear and see what Billy, Chris and Klaudia are doing, but will also be able to see how loud they’re truly being by the visual element of having a programme that shows them this.
Ultimately, the audience experience of our performance should be about the sound and getting them to listen to the sounds of what is happening in our little workshop.
