SOUND Design.

I’m someone who is interested in the way technology and art intersect to tell a story. From arena shows, to interactive sound installations, to game design, every project I’ve worked on finds that intersection in it’s own way to tell a story. I create cohesive content (music, dialogue, sound effects) that handshakes with the programming and the system for the audience to believe what they are hearing.

Some of the most rewarding projects I’ve worked on include:

Audio production management for Jurassic World Live Tour. From roars coming from the life-size animatronics on stage to a full orchestral score this projects size and grandeur was unparalleled.

Sound Design, Original Composition, and System Design for Fairgrounds, St. Petersburg. A permanent immersive and interactive art space in St. Petersburg Florida. Over a hundred speakers networked together playing over a hundred different tracks controlled by live audience interaction.

Max/MSP and system consultation on a couture dress for fashion week filled with remote triggers that created an evolving soundtrack as the model walked down the runway.

Sound Design for Universe is a Small Hat, an immersive and interactive musical in a three story building with multiple endings.

Max/MSP programming for an Intel CES Installation using Real Sense, and eight foot strings that manipulated a soundscape and video based on how hard they were plucked.

FairGrounds, St. Pete

You can hear my original music and sound design at Fairgrounds in Saint Petersburg Florida. Fairgrounds is an evolving permanent interactive and immersive art space in the heart of the warehouse district. Over the course of a year I designed and integrated a system with over 100 speakers networked together play over a hundred different tracks (music and sound effects) controlled by live audience interaction.

The Rabbit And The Owl

The Rabbit and The Owl is a co-op (or single player) 2d puzzle-platformer. I did the sound design. There are just over 100 assets that I grouped into 3 different genres. The level, which has an ancient mechanical sound, The Rabbit, which has a brighter more vibrant sound, and The Owl, which has more muted hollow sounds. Outside of the challenge of creating these sounds from scratch, what sets this piece apart was creating sounds for both The Rabbit and The Owl that were distinctly different, but similar enough that mechanically they sounded the same. Audio programmed in Wwise. Available for purchase on Steam!

WIDE AWAKE HEARTS

Truth and fiction begin to blend when four friends make a movie about love, infidelity and the complexities of human interaction.

"Ephemeral and as Vaporous as this play"

-Laura Collins-Hughes, The New York Times

"The blurring of reality and performance is further augmented by lines of dialog that are repeated (multiple "takes" for the camera), the use of jarring film images... and the anxious underscoring provided by Elliot Davoren"        

 -Howard Miller, talkinbroadway

THE FEAST

"Matt and Anna’s relationship is going swimmingly, until the sewers under their apartment open up and begin to speak. The plumber is angry, Matt’s paintings are getting stranger, and a storm is gathering. An eerie comedy about what is real, what is not and who knows."

"Scary and Original"

-Alexis Soloski, The New York Times

"Elliot Davoren's sound design is the strident soundtrack to our downward spiral."

- PJ Grisar, StageBuddy

Othello

This production of Othello directed by Tyne Rafaeli explores a world of toxic mental anguish masked by an ever present militaristic beat. Isolation is contrasted with stimulus through dance and movement.

Tracks contain samples from K'naan, The Narcicyst, Beyonce, Mc Solaar, and Blockhead

The Peculiar Patriot

Jet of Blood

This immersive adaptation of Antoine Artaud's Spurt of Blood shook up the night, drawing a crowd to an otherwise empty building in Orange County. 

Take a journey through the mind of Artaud, where his dreams become your nightmares

We Are The 0%

When times get tough and wallets tight, a group of plebs rally together against the wealthy aristocracy to demand economic equality. But how far are they willing to go to achieve their goals? Is the price of the battle greater than the spoils of victory? And how equitable is the sought equality? We Are The 0% explores these questions and many more as it follows two star-crossed lovers who find themselves on opposite sides of the economic divide and their struggle between love and loyalty.

“ClownMa brings it — hard — earning proper respect with We are the 0%, an uproarious, frequently touching tribute to the Occupy Wall Street movement.”

– LA Theater Critic
