Perhaps I should have mentioned him. <BR/><BR/>Another curiosity in the program is this sentence: "This production is dedicated to Marcel Marceau." There was definitely much more than the usual amount of pantomime.Dr.Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02298893523780056481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9856058.post-26033457601899096152008-02-29T04:09:00.000-05:002008-02-29T04:09:00.000-05:00Don't you just love the internet!

The original plan was to use mics for Miles, Quint and Jessel. For the "ghosts," it was for sound manipulation only, not amplification; they thought it would be good to have Miles amplified, and while he was definitely a strong treble, I think it worked fine-- he was not over-amplified at all, and it brought his level closer to the adult voices. As for us two, they decided to cut my mic, and leave Quint's-- they did some fancy business with his voice sort of moving about the hall, and I understand that was fairly eerie. Also, they added a bit of reverb in some spots, e.g. his final statements. Having heard the original Britten/Pears recording, I can say that it was very similar to what they'd done with the recording-- and that was something like 1955! <BR/><BR/>So-- Thomas G. was definitely NOT amplified, and wouldn't have needed it in that very nice hall. The mic was only for "sound design." Funny how humiliating it can feel to be seen to be wearing one, though-- I know I've felt that on occasions when I've had to wear one, and felt it unnecessary. <BR/><BR/>You may have noticed other added sound design elements: giggling, wind and bird chirping (although I thought that might have been done with a mechanical bird call-- never did find out).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
