​​Overall Aesthetic Soundscape

Machinal calls for various percussive and sudden sounds of various machinery. As well as asking for dream-like qualities as well. What I created here is a brief sample of the general vibe I wanted to create. The Young Woman finally feeling bless, before coming back to the harsh reality around her.

Opening Sequence

A theoretical preshow soundscape into the opening transition into the first scene of the show. As the audience walks into the space we hear the machine start up and begin to move. Every ten minutes (ten seconds here) we hear a buzzer that introduces more percussive elements adding in more urgency. As we near the start of the show the machine is almost music-like in nature. We then transition into a dream-like quality as we are first introduced to the Young Woman, before going into the opening scene into the office.
