"Two sisters and a dog live out their lives on the bleak English moors, dreaming of love and power. The arrival of a hapless governess and a moor-hen set all three on a strange and dangerous path. The Moors is a dark comedy about love, desperation, and visibility."

SOUND COLLAGE
Based in 1840s England, The Moors proved to be an exciting challenge. In my research, I explored classical music and modern gothic tropes to create the sound design for this piece. For the interior focused scenes, we utilized the feeling of structure with the minimal use of my composed piano, cello trills, and harpsichord pieces. For the exterior scenes, I found beautiful string-based stingers to represent the endless, open space of the moors. The music and atmosphere wanted to feel realistic and dramatic, which fully allowed the dark comedy to shine through.
