<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>OK I stand corrected... sort of. I had already set up my WordPress blog to cross-post to Bluesky and Mastodon. So that did happen... just not directly.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
25.2.2025 16:58Comment on Wordland – just a quick experiment by BruceJust a test to try out Dave Winer’s Wordland. It’s sorta nice to not have to type into that teeny tiny little text box. Hmmm… I guess I misunderstood though. I thought this was going to allow me to post to Bluesky directly but the only option (at the moment at least) is to post […]
25.2.2025 16:46Wordland – just a quick experimentOne of the few remaining endearing qualities of Facebook is the History tab. It’s been reminding me for the last few days that five years ago we were performing Sarah Ruhl’s Dead Man’s Cell Phone. I composed and recorded a significant amount of music for this show. But it all started with music for the […]
25.1.2025 15:58Flashback – a Dead Man’s Cell Phone balletI’m trying to freshen up my online presence. My WordPress site is slowly coming back to life. I’m using this post to investigate the ability to automatically cross-post to several social media sites – specifically Facebook, Threads and Mastodon. Maybe I’ll get a Bluesky account too because… it’s a thing. Stay tuned. Meanwhile on Facebook… […]
18.11.2024 23:03Tuning things upAs we get ready to open our second, and final weekend of Macbeth I thought I’d use this as an excuse to share a bit of the original music from the show. The show itself is set in the 1970s which provide lots of inspiration for the sounds and music. The Witches theme is used […]

1.11.2024 21:52Comment on The sound of a flashback by The witch cave – Bruce Webster SoundWell… here we are at opening night for Macbeth. It’s been a fairly huge amount of work getting all the new music finished and designing/refining all the sounds effects. As time goes on, I find one of the things that consistently provides joy to me (and hopefully to our audiences) is creating a variety of […]
1.11.2024 21:23The witch caveOriginally posted: 7/16/2014 For our production of WIT, I wanted to create something new for several flashback scenes. In the past, I’ve processed an individual actor’s mic with reverb + delay to create this type of effect. But for WIT, the actors were not mic’d. It’s funny how you get stuck in a particular way […]
1.11.2024 16:06The sound of a flashbackHere’s a first experiment to include music clips directly in a post. This is a little original 1920s-style dance music that the cast used to show off their fancy choreography. And I got a chance to channel my inner Louis Armstrong. Enjoy. If you have a moment, please leave a comment.
4.8.2024 19:57A little music from Romeo & JulietOriginally posted: 12/5/13 During The Mystery of Irma Vep, there were many cues for environmental sound effects like thunder and wind as well as creature sounds such as screams and howls. You can get away with using the same sample a couple of times but at some point this approach gets noticed. And depending on […]
4.8.2024 19:24Small variations make a big differenceOriginally posted: 11/17/13 As part of the sound design for The Mystery of Irma Vep, the director made reference to British “door humor”. And of course when you think about both English sitcoms and theatre there is a long history of doors and their ability to supply opportunities for both comedic and dramatic entrances and […]

Clockwise from bottom-left: Maggie Canniff, Peter Fitzgerald, Bruce Church, Brian Dunham Looking back, it’s been two years since I started working at my “small room”. Although I had done a significant number of shows (mostly musicals) at other venues before this, doing the sound design for […]
