Resource Title Redefining auralities : integrating deaf cultural theory through multisensory integration and sense memory with musique concrète techniques into the sound design of Sarah Kane’s 4.48 Psychosis
Date Issued 5 June 2025
Abstract Sound is commonly defined as vibrations and sound waves that are perceived by the ears. However, this study challenges this traditional definition by exploring how aural experiences extend beyond hearing through the multisensory integration of vibrational perception and visual cues. Deaf sound artists such as Christine Sun Kim and Evelyn Glennie share insights into their experiences of sound through different sensory modalities—visual cues for Kim and vibrational sensations for Glennie.

This study also further investigates how moving away from conventional sound design practices in theater can be possible through experimental compositional techniques, such as musique concrète, noise compositions, and sound collage, where snippets of sound come together to form a musical composition. The incorporation of vibrational design and experimental sound techniques is applied to the sound design of the post-dramatic play 4.48 Psychosis by Sarah Kane. The results are based on the design process, research immersion, audience feedback, and informal interviews.
