About this audio

In this part of The Tempest, Ariel is luring Ferdinand away with mysterious music. We wanted to create an eerie, hypnotic effect. Christopher played a simple repeated pattern on keyboards, selecting sounds which were complex and atmospheric. He used low sounds to suggest the deep water in which Ariel said Ferdinand's father was drowned.

Antonia played a rainstick to create a sea effect. The other instruments - vibraphone, gong, sleigh bells and temple bells - were used intermittently to add to the effect. In The Tempest, Ferdinand cannot identify the source of the sounds that he hears. Hannah and James created this effect by whispering the text, overlapping their voices and using separate microphones. This was recorded live, in one take.
