This preshow was composed in 8 channel surround sound using an Akai sampler and Digital Performer. Each sound was sampled and played in the Forum Theatre. It was decided that the sound was to feel unproduced and acoustic in nature except for the tone that was used for the actors to start their own tones from.
This recording was used by the actors to get their pitch and reproduce the tone and harmonics.
This is from live production in Forum Theatre at Ohio University.
This pitch was used as a scene transition and also used for actors to find their pitch for overtoning.
