TERMINAL SOUND (WIP) || (2023-Present) dir. Meghan Doyle
Supported by The Lowry, Salford
Writer/Composer/PerformerTerminal Sound is a work in progress gig-theatre piece written and composed by Jack D’Arcy‘The Engineer’ has been brought into the home recording studio of a legendary artist, tasked with finishing his final album. All that has been left behind are copious, incomprehensible notes and cassette tapes. It’s his job to work through and complete this swan song—an album doused in morbidity, religiosity and sardonicism. As ‘The Engineer’ moves from mixing to recording, from tweaking to writing the songs, he begins to question whose final album this really is.

REPLICA || (2024) dir. Maisie Newman

Sound DesignerSomething happened on the school trip. One of the class has been replaced by an exact replica of themselves. At least that’s what everyone’s saying. Once a rumour starts, it can be difficult to remember what is real – or who. Convinced that there is an impostor walking among them, a group of teenagers is determined to root out the intruder. A mystery about friendship, the nature of truth, and humanity. When it comes to it, how do you prove that you are a human?
