01 / WORK

Projects, not a sample archive.

Four pieces of work that show Robert's thinking in context: what the production needed from sound, what problem the design was solving and how the creative response was built.

PROJECTS / 01—04

Four projects. Four different creative problems.

The listening libraries now live under Sound & Music. This page is about the decisions behind the work.

01BBC RADIO 4 / DOCUMENTARY

You've Got Worms

Original sound design & music

The challenge was to make an overlooked world beneath our feet feel immediate, curious and alive while keeping scientific ideas clear.

Sound became part of the documentary's storytelling architecture: texture, underscore and transitions create movement and identity without crowding the narration.

02THEATRE / INTERNATIONAL TOURING

Age Is a Feeling

Sound design & composition

A live story about memory and mortality needed a sound world that could hold emotion without fixing a performance designed to change from night to night.

The score leaves room for performer and audience, then opens the space when the production needs a larger theatrical gesture.

03THEATRE / NEW WRITING

Mary's Daughters

Sound design

The production moves between generations, so the design had to create continuity without making memory feel stable or neat.

Layered voice, altered perspective, transitions and original music become a way of experiencing time and inheritance rather than simply marking scene changes.

04VISUAL STORYTELLING / SHORT FORM

Sound for animation

Sound design

Animation makes tiny decisions visible. Sound has to meet that precision: timing movement, giving actions weight and finding a sonic character that belongs to the image.

The work is less about adding effects than deciding what the viewer should feel, notice and believe in each moment.

WHAT WORK SHOWS

Start with the dramatic or narrative problem.

Build a sound language that belongs to the production.

Make the creative idea work in the room, edit or final mix.
