“...music production usually takes place within four walls, with a static microphone that can’t be moved. With a more ‘soundscape’ approach, those four walls fall away, and the microphone can be anywhere you want to place it.” Anonymouz says this is one of the highlights of working in theatre. “There’s a natural crossover between sound, sound-effects, foley, music, composition… it's more free than doing traditional music.”
