Peter Rice

I am Lecturer and Course Leader for Theatre Sound, BA at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama and also work as a freelance Sound Designer for Theatre and Short Film. Before joining Central in 2018, I worked in industry full time from 1996 – 2018 in a variety of roles.

I have worked as Head of Sound at the Young Vic Theatre, Senior Sound Technician at the National Theatre, Deputy Head of Sound at the Royal Exchange Theatre, Sound Technician and the Almeida Theatre and Sound Engineer at the Haymarket Theatre, Basingstoke.

My freelance career as a freelance Sound Designer for Theatre and Short Film has spanned over 20 years and over 100 projects.

I have also worked as a corporate sound engineer across many projects world-wide including SIBOS in Singapore, Boston and Dubai, Salesforce in Paris and Munich, Cisco in Milan and Barcelona, IBM in Monaco and Google at Cannes Lions.

I was a founding member of Stage Sight and sat on the committee for 2 years and am still a Stage Sight member running their Website and sitting on the Drama Schools’ working group.

I am Sound Associate for NYX Electronic Drone Choir and have worked on a number of their projects, mainly in the area of spatial sound. This included VOID, a show in collaboration with Dan Tobin Smith Studio for the London Design Festival, a sonic installation and live show performed by the choir to sit alongside the Gemstones exhibition. I have also recently developed Mutualism with them, a 360 degree video project with spatialised sound and created Mutualism: a mixtape for Radiophrenia from the outtakes of the project.

I work as a solo Sound Artist under the moniker ‘thesoundcollective’ creating composition and sonic soundscapes. Many of which can be found on my website and SoundCloud and have worked with The Eaten One to produce the album Blood Scent released in November 2020.
