Sound

Much like the lighting, the sound was to be simple and only played when necessary, for instance, the television show theme music was used to represent someone flicking through the channels of the television. The main sounds for 130,000 were two recorded verbatim extracts, added effects were made to the recordings, using the programme Audacity, to represent a televised and radio interview.

Below is the television theme music before the recording and effects were added:

Other sounds were used to determine where characters were, for instance, Ronnie’s witness to the stabbing outside was illustrated by a traffic sound effect, along with a Jay-Z song, as this is mentioned later on in the play.
