Che O'Donnell Gibson & Will Reece Dead or Alive
Sound designers Che and Will’s 2010 sound-scape helped create an atmosphere of curiosity and adventure in Art in the Dark. This year, they’re taking Western Park at face value – or, rather name value – and creating a “sound western”. They’ve promised characters and a plot, and you’ll have to sit down and let the 3D sounds take you from Western Park to an altogether wilder west.
Che O'Donnell Gibson
Che O’Donnell-Gibson works as a freelance Audio Engineer and Composer. He predominantly works in post-production for TV, film and animation, as well as in on location and live sound. Che is currently working as an Audio Assistant for Prime Television. Sound Design work includes Shea Melville’s animation, I am Yourself, due to be exhibited in November 2011. He is also in pre-production for two of Craig Gainsborough’s short films, Agoraphobia and Hope's War, and Alexander Gandar’s latest short film, Flew.
Will Reece
Will Reece graduated from Auckland’s International School of Audio Engineering in 2010 and started his career in the audio industry as a boom operator and assistant sound recordist, for mentors Dick Reade and Colleen Brennan.

His latest works include a feature length documentary directed by Ian Mune and a short film by up and coming director Nikki Siulepa. Both productions are due for release in 2011.
