Promenade Installation, Theatre Nordkraft, Denmark

Sound Designer

Both sound, lighting and even the smell is absolutely top class. It is truly a sensory experience of high calibre.  It is sensory experience and one’s own option for personal empathy in the piece that makes this show, I think, works much better than so many other “normal” theatre. It is hard to describe-it must be experienced. (review translated from Danish)

Her Naked Skin

Play, Silk Street Theatre, London

The actors were radio mic’d for reinforcement and so that spatial effects could be added in order to help place scenes in their desired location. By creating nine vocal zones with each zone having independent level and delay control to each loudspeaker, Michael was able to make the PA system disappear whilst achieving exceptional intelligibility.
