I am definitely not a sound designer but I know that reverb really does make a difference to the way something sounds and is especially popular in music. A lot of my friends make music for fun, and some as a profession, so they spend a lot of time in the studio learning some elements of sound engineering and design, and it all sounds really interesting and extremely complicated. I’ve always been interested in making music and learning more about sound because I feel like sound is such an important part of not only theatre and performance but life. It’s such an important sense that is even more important when taken away and sometimes silence speaks louder than anything at all, which is a concept/idea/thing that I can think about for days because there are so many different answers as to why that makes sense or doesn’t in the world of sound and life.
