Sound Effects

In this production, Big Jule fires his gun and it ricochets around in the sewer. I created this sound for the effect by layering several found sounds, along with a series of fades to different speakers so the sound would "move" around the house. See it in action below:

Used for the police raid on the Mission at the end of Act 1. See it in action below:

Something going horribly wrong in Joey Biltmore's Garage, over the phone. Created by layering a number of found sounds.
