A GUTS soundscape test.
The TWELVE ACRE ORCHARD theme plays like a chapel of rest organ then is engulfed by sewer construction noises and GUTS MACHINE scraping...then the dripping sewer takes over followed by an urban interlude of beats,sirens and helicopters.Eventually the theme returns with a Roy Budd feel...
(for best results listen with headphones)
GUTS is an original stageplay by Peter Dillon.Robert Jefferson has been working with Peter on turning the play into an animated film and a comic book. Most recently the pair have been working with theatre director Fiona Macpherson in working the script up into a site specific multimedia piece of theatre. The play concerns the equilibrium of universal balance through the history of Newcastle Upon Tyne's Nineteenth Century developers and their polarised modern day equivalents.

Phantasmagoria
I am very interested in Pre Cinema techniques particularly the effects of the Phantasmagoria, moving projections, mirrors and other reflection and light effects. The PEPPER'S GHOST effect is one of my favourites.It uses a hidden plane of angled glass to reflect a carefully lit superimposition creating the effect of a 'manifestation'.
This would work very well in the Coal Cellars, as the Ghosts start to make their appearance.
Modern Ghost trains and Theme Park rides still use the Pepper's Ghost technique.
I was wondering what my 'role' was in this process - Hey, can I be the 'imagineer' !!

Leads from the Lecture Theatre, past the Committee Room (which smelled of a fish supper),through the Archive and up into the corner of the Library...
Neville Hall Photos
The three main spaces in Neville Hall, which is fast becoming our favoured venue.
The well preserved and atmospheric COAL CELLARS would be CHARLIES SUBTERRANEAN KINGDOM
The LECTURE THEATRE and MAIN LIBRARY could act as Trail Room, Grand Dome
and everything else...
