I worked on these surround soundscapes to support the exhibition designed by Leigh Cain Creative. The first room covers the preparation for the battle, with sound design featuring exclusive recordings of poems and mass recitals.

In the second room sounds an excerpt of the battle, recreated in cooperation with the historians at English Heritage, retelling the bloody conflict in a haunting and memorable experience.

  • Mass recorded at Hackney Road Studios, engineer Mike Hillier
  • West Saxon poem recorded at Voiceover Gallery, London, voiced by Tom Dussek, coached by Vicky Wallace of the languages dept at University of Central London
  • bespoke field recordings from England and France
  • tracklay in Pro Tools 10 HD
  • mixed for custom quad and 4.1 setups
