Character Sound Palates

Gordon – Electronic, Digital, Choppy, Cold
Mrs G. – Orchestral, Classic, Old, Scratchy
Hermia – Jazz, Smokey/Sultry in bar, Uptempo in ice skating scene
Other Woman – Mysterious, Film Noir, Sexy
Dwight – Analog/Electronic Hybrid, Forward-Moving, Beautiful
Jean – I feel that Jean begins the play having everyone else’s sound personality forced onto her and through the show migrates through the harsh digital sounds to a combination of analog/electronic and eventually a pure, lush analog palate
