This soundscape, based on my final sound design for Medea, immerses the audience in the unstable space between Medea’s inner thoughts and the world around her. Built from manipulated recordings of the chorus actors—captured during dedicated recording sessions I conducted—the voices shift between clear speech and abstract textures, creating an otherworldly presence that reflects Medea’s psyche.

All drone elements are derived from my own cello performance, using evolving harmonies to mirror her emotional descent. Subtle breaths, whispers, and rhythmic pulses—also sourced from the cast recordings—weave through the mix, heightening tension and signaling her movement toward vengeance.

Through dynamic spatialization and layered audio, the soundscape places the audience inside Medea’s psychological landscape, capturing the intensity and tragic momentum of her final decisions.
