Trade / Mary MotorheadBiography
David Sheppard is a sound designer who has collaborated on a diverse range of projects across the world. He works with many leading orchestras and ensembles as well as rock and pop musicians, visual artists, and both dance and film creatives. He collaborates closely with composers on helping them realise their ideas, but he is also known as a sound installation artist and electronics performer in his own right. Last year he worked on the first ever Augmented Reality opera, Current Rising, with the Royal Opera House, and began developing new performance experiences utilising d&b Audiotechnik’s Soundscape. Irish National Opera incorporated this in the 2021 tour of Brian Irvine and Netia Jones’s Least Like The Other, Searching for Rosemary Kennedy. In 2022 he curated and produced Immersive Fields, a new festival of 360° audio and visuals, and a 90-minute sound installation for Tour De Moon, a three-city festival of UK culture as part of the nationwide Unboxed celebration.
