REVIEWS 
​

​‘wonderful, heart-thumping sound design’
****Scotsman on Gush (Traverse)
 
‘(the)often subtle, sometimes purposefully interventionist music and sound is similarly sensitive to the emotional shifts in the drama’
****National Scot on Gush (Traverse)
 
‘The sound design adds texture and momentum, shifting from pulsing underscoring to moments of stillness’
****Corr Blimey on Gush ​(Traverse)
​

'(the) score brilliantly echoes the sound of Aaron Copland's Fanfare For The Common Man'
**** Scotsman on Death Of A Salesman (Trafalgar Arts/Raw Material) ​
​
'Niroshini Thambar's sound design is excellent'
​****All Edinburgh Theatre on The Brenda Line (Pitlochry Festival Theatre)
​
'(the score) is near cinematic in utilisation – sharp counterpoints and dread weaved throughout with a heavily piano-inspired score to emphasise the depths to which this twisted tale descends'
**** Corr Blimey on Snake in the Grass (Dundee Rep)

' increasingly sinister piano-based soundtrack only emphasises the production’s cinematic qualities.'
****The Quintessential Review on Snake in the Grass (Dundee Rep)
​
 '..exquisite, deceptively simple musical score'
****Scotsman on The Arrival (Solar Bear Theatre)

'sound crackles with thunder and fizzes with uneasy dissonance.'
****The Skinny on The Tempest ​(Tron Theatre)
​
​'Pulsed along by an exquisite score by Niroshini Thambar....'  
The Herald on The Bridge (Annie George)​
​
'..superbly motivating soundtrack..'
The Quintessential Review on Sho and the Demons of the Deep ​(IAP/National Theatre of Scotland)
​
'profoundly personal and affecting sound design.'
​**** Corr Blimey on Disciples (Stellar Quines)

' tremendous sound design is decidedly spooky' 
​**** All Edinburgh theatre on Jinnistan (Play Pie Pint)
​
 'The sound design  is also excellent: the jinn’s voice truly seems to emanate from somewhere beyond the here and now.'
Bouquets & Brickbats on Jinnistan (Play Pie Pint)

'Niroshini Thambar and Nik Paget-Tomlinson’s scoring and sound design is a triumph'  
​***** Corr Blimey on Rocket Post ​(Constellation Points)
