"The evening begins with a single old-fashioned radio spotlighted on a chair, an image that segues into a parade of illuminated radios, floating through the darkness. There's an aural background of static and shards of speech and music. (The highly sophisticated sound design is by Christopher Shutt and Gareth Fry.) The sounds coalesce into a variety of more comprehensible patterns. " NY Times, Ben Brantley

The Watery Part of the World

Sound and Fury, BAC. Director: Mark Espiner

"Gareth Fry's masterful sound artistry has free reign and immediately - when the sounds of lapping waves begin - you are transported."  EdinburghGuide.com

"Gareth Fry's remarkable surround-sound design.  Wave after wave of sound-effects - the whir of a harpoon gun, the flap of a sail, a sudden turmoil of water - sends pulses racing." The Telegraph

"Gareth Fry’s evocative soundscape ranges from creaking timbers and lapping waves to the apocalyptic rumblings of some doomsday machine. Like Melville’s work, you’re made to feel that the human and natural worlds are caught in a battle between the heavenly and the demonic." The Times

"[the] sound design mingles the naturalistic with more abstract assemblages so that in moments of frenzied activity we feel ourselves in the bowels of some vast infernal engine." Financial Times
