Build is a story about two Silicon Valley tech developers trying to create the next big thing. When one of them creates an AI friend, their relationship is put to the test.

Another transition piece.

We wanted to make the sound of the Artificial Intelligence (played by a human, live on stage) somehow different from the other characters, so I created a little software patch that added a series of tones to the AI's voice. In performance, the actor wore a wireless microphone, the sound of which was used by the computer to generate the tones in real time. This is a short recording of what the finished product sounded like.
