Sound Designer · Audio Engineer · Musician
EvanMosher
Twenty-plus years listening for the thing underneath the thing. Seattle-based, theatre-rooted, studio-fluent.
Sound designer, audio engineer, musician, performer. Twenty-plus years in professional music and theatre; fifteen years of dedicated sound design — over 80 productions. Comfortable on both sides of the tech table, and at home in rooms where inter-departmental envisioning and mutual respect are centered in the process.
I moved to Seattle in 1998 to pursue this life as a career. Seattle Public, ACT/Union Arts Center, Strawberry Theatre Workshop, On the Boards, Wooden O, ArtsWest, Book-it, Washington Ensemble Theatre, Café Nordo & Nebula, and more. Currently AV Tech and Sound Engineer at Town Hall Seattle, staff podcaster since 2022.
I have an ear for detail and nuance, honed in the studio and in live environments. A calm and rational demeanor under the pressures of production. I communicate well across departments — whether talking to a director about emotional intent, to an actor about dramaturgical audio support, to a tech manager about signal path, or to anyone who will listen about diegetic switches.

|---|---|---|
| Q 1 | Athens Gate to Forest — Puck Enters A Midsummer Night’s Dream — Union Arts Center, 2026 — dir. Desdemona Chiang A massive automated wall slowly opens upstage to reveal a dank, psychedelic forest. Puck jumps out of a hole in the stage to begin his speech. |

| Q 2 | Lover’s POV — Psychedelic Faerie Forest A Midsummer Night’s Dream — Union Arts Center, 2026 — dir. Desdemona Chiang The young lovers enter the forest; their senses translate it into a zone of otherworldly, unsettling sounds of unidentifiable faerie flora and fauna. |
0:28 |
| Q 3 | Rude Mechanicals in the Forest — Puck Slows Time, Restores A Midsummer Night’s Dream — Union Arts Center, 2026 — dir. Desdemona Chiang The Rude Mechanicals enter the vaguely threatening forest. Puck slows time to speak in asides with Titania, then restores the normal flow. |

| Q 6 | Enter the Turbine Room — Izzy’s Ghost Duet with the Steam Plant Ghosts of Nebula — Georgetown Steam Plant, 2024 — dir. Gavin Reub An immersive production at the historic Steam Plant. The audience enters the massive turbine room as the plant shudders to life; a ghost relives the last moments of her life in a loop; she duets with the steam plant itself. |

| Q 7 | Death’s Whistle — Arrive in London Sweeney Todd — Cornish College of the Arts, 2025 — dir. Rich Gray For a modern take, the signature factory whistle was replaced with a bespoke version crafted entirely from London Tube sounds. Followed by a brief ambient cue of Sweeney arriving at the docks. |

| Q 8 | The Bed Trick — End of Play The Bed Trick — Seattle Shakespeare Company, 2024 — dir. Makaela Milburn Sourced “bardcore” versions of pop songs for crossfading in and out of scenes; stuttering distortion underscores the narrator character’s inner monologue and direct audience address. |
