"...Wells' performance combines flawlessly...with an all-encompassing, at times even overwhelming sound design"
Heroine - The Fountain (90%)

"Spellbinding ... A gorgeous aural tapestry"
Last Dream (On Earth) - The Guardian (****)

"The all-important atmosphere is assisted beautifully by tremendous live music (played by its composer Jon Beales) and premonitory sound (by Matt Padden) ... one of the classiest pieces of theatre to have been staged in Scotland, not only in the winter season, but at any time of year."
A Christmas Carol - Telegraph (*****)

BIOGRAPHY:

I specialise in immersive, highly detailed sound design work for theatre and live arts. For over eight years I was Head of Sound for the National Theatre of Scotland, designing shows both for and outwith the company. My Work page details current, recent and past productions.

I am a member of the Association of Sound Designers.

Besides creative sound design, I also provide technical design services and advice for theatre productions, live events and installations of all sizes.
