Summary
In this episode of the Immersive Audio Podcast, Oliver Kadel is joined by the co-founders and artistic directors at DARKFIELD – David Rosenberg and Glen Neath from London, UK.
David and Glen co-founded DARKFIELD in 2016. David previously co-founded Shunt and directed all their shows: The Ballad of Bobby Francois, Tennis Show, Dance Bear Dance, Tropicana, Amato Saltone, Money, The Architects and The Boy Who Climbed Out Of His Face. Working with Frauke Requardt he conceived and co-directed The Roof, Electric Hotel and Motor Show, for which he used binaural sound recordings to allow the audience intimate access to distant spaces. David co-directed DeadClub, which was presented at The Place, and he is one of the team behind Wiretapper, an audio project hiding performances in public spaces.
Glen has written novels, and plays for radio, for the stage and non-theatre locations, performed by rehearsed and unrehearsed actors and by members of the public who are also the audience. Projects include Wedding, Free Show (bring money) Die or Run with Hannah Ringham, Hide with Lizzie Clachan, Unpack with Neil Bennun and Hello for Dummies and Romcom with Ant Hampton. His radio plays for BBC Radio 4 include Listen Up, Six Impossible Things, Occupied, The Long Count and an adaptation of The Arabian Nights. His debut novel, The Outgoing Man, was launched by Portobello Books in 2005 and was shortlisted for the Authors’ Club Best First Novel Award. Glen Neath and David Rosenberg have been collaborating since 2012. Previous shows Ring (2013) and Fiction (2015), both produced by Fuel, toured extensively and had several sell-out runs in London.
David and Glen talk about the creation of DARKFIELD as a company and a form of immersive entertainment and we dive into binaural sound design behind their most successful shows.
