A Small Fire - Scene 10

James Ard is a sound designer, who composes soundscapes for new works, live experiences, and immersive stage productions.

“It’s like a wave whose crash could crack you open.”

-San Francisco Chronicle

“…it’s as if you hear individual atoms rend.”

-San Francisco Chronicle

“extraordinary sound design…

…the sound reverberates through the soles of your shoes up through the sinew in your legs.

It’s not just that physical sensation that makes Ard’s design so effective. He helps define feeling and atmosphere and advance story“

-San Francisco Chronicle
