“I’m not a scientist so I don’t know about laboratories and things that people stereotypically think of when they think about research,” Crowell says. “But for us, it’s a similar idea; it’s just really creatively based. We really dig into things like the structure, rhythmic base, how the music functions within the show and the impact points. If we listen to the music, do people respond? If it worked well, why? For us, the research is picking the music apart and then recreating it ourselves for a new show.”
