Placebo - Audio Page

This production is about many things, one of which was how easily our mood can be manipulated – something which music can do very well. As a consequence, the score for Placebo is hugely diverse.

The entire score was recorded and played back over a very simple sound rig. A selection from the original show soundtrack is scheduled to be released next year.

Two clips below demonstrate the technique of vocal sampling and musical layering.

Press

“a cleverly-constructed melange of classical fugue, clubby EDM and a collage of sound clips gathered from far and wide, which explore mood and meaning and emotional and physical wellbeing, composed and assembled by Paul Clark.”
