As mentioned above, there is a odd, loud sound that occurs three times throughout the play. The play is set in the front yard of Justin's house, who works at his alma mater. Justin always excuses this sound as his faulty generator. However, the sound is very obviously not a generator. In the text it is described as "Part machine, part animal." The generator becomes it's own character that abruptly intrudes into the character's discussions. It has a jump scare effect every time but comically is forgotten and ignored as just "a generator" and they go back to whatever they were talking about prior. Towards the end of the play Justin reveals that he doesn't know what that sound is and says that it just started happening. It haunts him.

My take on the sound of the generator uses real recordings and distorting them to a frightening but familiar sound. In addition mixing with a electronic and metallic sound. One of the main aspects is a field recording of a aboveground subway screeching and ringing out from the street, which I then slowed down, added reverb, and pitched. Another is the sound of baby crying which was pitched down to sound like a animal roaring. Additionally, part of our production was a opening sequence that previewed the generator sound during the first scene where Justin attempts to gut a deer he just shot, but for some reason he cant bring himself to do it. This scene jumps to the scene of the house party.
