summary

Mark Twain’s King Leopold II. Theatre des Martyrs company, Brussels, Belgium.

« Un mémorial ? Sire ! Nous vous proposons d’édifier un mémorial avec les 15 millions de crânes et de squelettes de vos sujets décédés. Nous avons tout calculé, tout rapporté à l’échelle. Avec les crânes, nous érigerions ce qui serait à la fois un monument et un mausolée : pas moins que la réplique exacte de la Grande Pyramide de Khéops ! »

technical

I worked closely with the director at the early stages of pre-production to create the mood of the play. We decided to have a mixture of classical composition intertwined with African percussion to support the atmosphere of the piece.
My tasks were to;
> Compose and pre-record the seven original tracks well before the start of rehearsals.
> Select professional studio recording musicians to work on the tracks.
> Shcedule and undertake the final recording at CreativeMinds studio, Brussels.
