Composer Dom Coyote and sound designers Elena Peña and Dave Price are creating a unique sound experience for the stage adaptation of Max Porter's novel 'Lanny.' Set in the Mendip Hills, they are using natural elements to craft rhythms that reflect the story's themes. The adaptation aims to immerse the audience in a trip-hop-inspired soundscape that connects with Bristol's musical heritage.
The team is focused on capturing the essence of the woodland, experimenting with various sounds from the environment to enhance the narrative. Their goal is to evoke a sense of wonder while conveying the story's darker themes, as they blend folk influences with contemporary sound design.
