Sound design for the Stage - A new book by Gareth Fry, published by the Crowood Press. More info
Gareth Fry is a multi award winning sound designer, best known for his cutting-edge work in theatre, and his collaborations with many leading UK theatre directors and companies. He has also designed events and exhibitions, from the V&A’s landmark David Bowie Is exhibition, to being asked by Danny Boyle to design the sound effects for the Opening Ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games. He is a founder and ex-chair of the Association of Sound Designers, which supports those in, and entering, the UK theatre sound industry. He is an expert in using binaural sound, as used in Complicité's The Encounter, for which he has won multiple awards. He is the only sound designer to have won three Olivier Awards for his work; and the only sound designer to have won two Tony Awards.
I worked with Create Future, Expedia and Brand USA to plan their Sound Travels campaign, highlighting aspects of a variety of American cities and locations to encourage people to visit. It eventually involved location recording in binaural sound across the USA by Clatter&Din
