Touch (2021)
Composer and sound designer Adrian Bridges deserves particular praise for his work. The sound for this production has to do a lot of heavy lifting and Bridges had no permanent sound system to work with, only a set of portable speakers.
Director Jessica Burr has created an action-packed, attention grabbing, chase of a play... and Adrian Bridges' innervating sound design provides the insistent, vital soundtrack for the unstoppable youth.

This Is Modern Art (2018)
Kudos must be given to the visual design/sound team of Solstice Party! The cleanly designed yet meticulously detailed scenery is superb. With the expert lighting, projections, and sound effects, the setting really looks alive.
The action takes place in Bryce Cutler’s stark prison meeting room set. Mary Ellen Stebbins’ lighting amplifies the dreariness of the room while also flashing off and on to indicate scene changes, helped by Adrian Bridges’ frightening sound design.
De Profundis’s celebration of sound finds its full expression in writer/director Ran Xia’s lyrical text and Adrian Bridges’ ethereal audio design. Spanish guitars punctuate the music of waves and rain, blending with Antonio’s shell-and-pin-needle symphonies in multi-layered harmony.

De Profundis (2016)
Delicate, nuanced and shattering... It has humor, heart and an elegant, deceptive surface simplicity.

Chickens In The Yard (2017)
An impeccably designed solstice party (!) under the stars that proves to be more than some millennials in search of themselves have bargained for... Adrian Bridges' aural landscapes command us to a forest far upstate for a dinner party of farm-grown vegetables and roast pig in honor of the solstice.

Solstice Party! (2017)
The live guitar and flamenco dancing of Adrian Bridges and Sofia Lund sets the tone perfectly, with beautifully restrained playing and dancing which adds to the atmosphere throughout the piece.
