Rabbeats Creation of Sound Environment

The stage of preparation of the production process

Rabbeats, with its vision of creating unique experiences, is at a particularly important stage in the project’s progress. Currently, we are immersed in the preparation of the creative process that will combine storytelling with the production of an overall audio experience that will transport the listener to another era. This preparation (pre-production) is very important for the development of the production. At this stage, all the elements (sounds, music, dialogue) that will be used in the production process are collected with great care and with a view to historical consistency while maintaining good sound and artistic quality, in order to be used in the final production.

Sounds

At this point, we focus on the collection and processing of sounds and sound effects from a variety of sound libraries, depending on the scenarios developed specifically for the project. Historical consistency is of utmost importance to create a realistic representation of another era in Athens and Xanthi. Therefore, in collaboration with the rest of the team, we collect sounds that refer to the era in which our stories are set. The carefully designed combination of sounds and historical accuracy is the main pillar for creating an unforgettable experience for the listener.

Music

At the same time, we engage in historical research into the music of the era highlighted in each scenario. Music is the element that, either as background music (soundtrack) or as the main protagonist of the script, gives the sense of the era and its selection is crucial for the immersion of the listener in the stories.

Dialogues

At this stage, we have taken significant steps in the production process. We are working with an experienced director who will guide the actors and the entire production team. Also, at this stage, the roles have been assigned and the supporting actors who will be involved in our play have been selected. The director has already begun teaching the actors the roles, preparing them for the upcoming recordings, which are scheduled to begin on June 15. The dialogues of the stories are very important and that’s why we devoted a large part of our time to their development. We had to find the perfect actors for each role, so that they could transport us to the time period in question. The challenge for our team is to convince the listener that they are listening to people from another era, using the actors’ acting skills but also using various tricks, such as adopting the pronunciation of the speech of the period or linguistic idioms, which are all based on historical research.

As we approach the official start of recording, Rabbeats is at a very important and exciting stage in the creative process of the project. Our goal at this stage is to collect and create sounds and musical pieces that will be used in the production of the stories, so that once the recordings are complete we will have created all the necessary materials for the next stage of production, which will begin in June and which is the final step of the project’s story-experiences. With our ongoing commitment to quality and innovation and driven by creativity, we are determined to offer a unique experience to the listener.
