Film, TV & Theatre

Sound designer and composer Alexandra Faye Braithwaite’s music and sound and Robbie Butler’s lighting take us from a club to a church to a dark alley in an instant.  They also immediately transport us from the past to the present with the same character by the flick of a spotlight, the use of silence or a slick song change
What’s On Stage on Punch (Nottingham Playhouse)

A precise sound design from Alexandra Faye Braithwaite responds nimbly to the dialogue, picking out significant words with the thump and crackle of fireworks or the clang of prison cell doors.  The score mingles pounding club music with ominous electronic ambience, all doomy drones and sharp resonances
The Stage on Punch 

evocatively arranged and orchestrated by Alexandra Faye Braithwaite
The Stage on A Taste of Honey (Royal Exchange)

Sound (Alexandra Faye Braithwaite) and lighting (Simisola Majekodunmi) too come with a drama which might befit the Moulin Rouge
The Guardian on The Sound of the Underground (Royal Court)
