Theo Holloway - Sound Design and Composition for Theatre

Wecome!

I've been working in sound and music for theatre for over a decade, first as an operator, and more recently as a creative, collecting more than fifty professional sound design and composition credits.

It's a great job - I enjoy working on everything from big rock'n'roll pantomimes to devised work, so please contact me to check my availability for your show.

Not all the music I write is for theatre - the website above has a small collection of some of my other electronic work, and below are some examples of scored compositions:

Another Year Grown Old - for alto, baritone, & piano
The Wished Day is Come - for countertenor and small ensemble
Now Al is Done - for countertenor and small ensemble

Consulting work

As well as sound design and composition, I also provide technical consulting services in live sound. I specialise in radio frequency engineering, providing planning and support for some of the largest users of radio microphones in the UK. Alongside more general technical support of projects and installations, I have also undertaken software and DSP projects for clients, and provided advice on compliance with of Noise @ Work legislation.
