Hofstra Drama 20 – Sound for the Theatre

1) 2/28/13, 11:30PM, Republic Hall Elevator

2) The pulleys working to carry the elevator up and down, sounds like machinery that needs to be lubricated with oil

3) The door squeaking open, and the elevator sliding against the walls, the high-pitched “ding” that signifies that the intended floor has been reached

4) The air conditioner

5) The level of sound is very high, but there isn’t much activity. The sounds are almost all isolated. The “ding” will always happen before the door opens, never after or at the same time. The door will only open after I stop hearing the pulleys. The only sound that is constantly present is that of the air conditioner.

6) “Confined”

7) The squealing sound of the elevator sliding against the wall, that “ding”, and the always-present (always very loud) air conditioner.
