Reviews

This fascinating book is informed by the author's wide range of experience, from performer in dance, music and acting to sound designer and director. Beginning with the physiology and psychology of human hearing, the book takes an eclectic path to an examination of successful artistic collaboration, through developmental and intellectual exercises, the study of cultural and historical influences and, ultimately, the reality of applying the lessons learned in a professional environment. As a rigorous and in-depth study of the art of sound design for theatre, it should become an invaluable asset to any serious student of this often under-appreciated and under-explored art. * John Leonard, theatre and exhibition sound designer and the author of Theatre Sound, 2016 * [DeIorio] has artfully engaged the reader in the understanding of perception and meaning, acoustical context, design and intention, the breadth of musical expression, the conveyance of emotional values, an historical perspective on music, the designer's tools that can affect audience responses, and some valuable insight on collaboration between members of the artistic team... This book is important for anyone considering a creative career in the diverse world of Professional Sound Design. I heartily recommend it. * David Budries, Professor in the Practice of Sound Design Chair, Department of Sound Design, Yale School of Drama *
