The Maker is an electro-acoustic and multi-media opera in two acts that seeks to expand upon the use of pre-recorded audio and video in the operatic genre as well as explores musical representations of classical Greek dramatic elements in the context of a re-imagining of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Based on a libretto by Dr. Monika Lee, The Maker utilizes a harmonic system focused on managing common-tones to reinforce and augment dramatic tension. Additionally, The Maker uses concepts from classical Greek tragedies as the foundation of musical materials. In particular, it explores how the use of recurring musical motifs can be tied to narrative devices, such as the concept of hamartia, which in turn can be used to reinforce the opera's narrative.The Maker also explores the relationship between diegetic and non-diegetic narrative elements and how this relationship can be accentuated through the use of pre-recorded video and audio. A non-diegetic Greek chorus is placed in contrast to the main cast by being presented to the audience via pre-recorded video and audio. Additionally, pre-recorded soundtrack parts help to blur the line between acoustic and electronic, reflecting the ambiguous humanity of some of the opera's primary characters.
