ADRIENNE QUARTLY - CREATIVE SOUND DESIGNER

“The sound design, too, is superb and atmospheric. Birds sing as if in warning; icebergs crack and break..” Lyn Gardner. THE GUARDIAN. 6th March, 2008

"Adrienne Quartly’s eclectic sound design emphasises Jarman’s Englishness, from a brass band playing An English Country Garden to a high-energy disco version of Jerusalem to the ecstatically soaring strings of Vaughan Williams. It’s a sublime interdisciplinary sensual assault” Sam Marlowe. THE TIMES 24th Feb 2004.
