Description

NEWTON 09 is a science fiction audio drama that mixes a full cast performance with experimental music.

Newton 09 is a retro sci-fi sound art radio theatre production. Music and sound composed by Peter van Haaften, a story by Daniel Nadeau, and an accompanying graphic novel adaptation by illustrator Robin Clugston combine to create a new trans-disciplinary work, inspired by classic British broadcasting.

Presented in three acts, Newton 09 chronicles the re-emergence of a lost art after generations of silence. 300 years in the future, mental slavery has buried the memory of joyful activity. In a house, on a hill, a lonely electronic mind has been waiting to remind the world of its forgotten beat.

With live voice acting, a progressive electronic score, and original atmospherics, Newton 09 looks to make an immersive electroacoustic experience accessible to new audiences. The piece takes ideas from the past, present and future–patching them into a surreal sound odyssey for all ages.
