about

Another old underscore. Originally composed to underscore the messengers monologue for a production/adaption of Oedipus Rex. What I discovered was this helped create a landscape to hold the story which illustrated the verbal pictures conjured without defining them. It was almost like the actor could find different things in each performance and the underscore enhanced it. I've used it in many productions se=ince as it is evocative for all sorts of scenarios

An entry into underscore is a simplification of 'leit motif', giving each character a theme. I've discovered this is not how music works in theatre/film work. Its too prescriptive, too literal. One of the tricky things ion a production is to think/feel hard what the role of sound/music is playing beyond the usual 'character' or 'place'. There is an emotive space or landscape that hovers between the interactions of the characters and the underlying themes of the play, there are reflections and structures in the mechanics of the script that lie deeper than the the 'plot'. There are allusions to the world outside the play. And more. The job of a composer is to be sensitive to all of this.
