Jim brings a deep and nuanced appreciation for the aesthetics of sound to his work, both in the theater and beyond it. For nearly 30 years, he has created compelling soundscapes for theatrical productions ranging from classical plays to contemporary works for an equally diverse range of creative collaborators. His interest in acoustic design also led to his involvement in nontheatrical projects emphasizing the broader role of sound in shaping other types of created environments.
