Why Chosen
Throughout the 1990s this was the only book on sound design for live theatre. It shaped my work more than any other source as an early designer. I still use concepts from this book in teaching students today. It remains the most straightforward and accessible page-to-stage books for anyone interested in theatrical soundscapes and non-musical sound design.
