Dougie’s music has been in many award winning dance and theatre productions, BBC productions, short films, animations, National Trust audio walks, and sound installations.
They were Co-Artistic Director of Lîla Dance for 10 years, creating dance nationally touring dance work with exceptional soundtracks and a strong community focus. In addition they have collaborated with many dance and theatre companies including, Commotion Dance, Ieva Kuniskis, Joli Vyann, La Petite Mort Theatre, Luke Brown Dance, Floods of Ink, Tim Casson, Stopgap Dance, Yael Flexer & Nic Sandiland, The Ballet Boyz, Bootworks Theatre Collective, Platform-K, Micadanses, Indepen-dance, Aya Kobayashi, Ludus Dance.
Their unique sound comes from their ability to mix recordings of everyday sounds and real instruments into their work, transporting the audience so that they really feel like they are immersed into the fictional world of each work, even if that world is abstract.

Reviews
“The drama is punctuated beautifully with Dougie Evans’s soundscapes − here the sound of outside traffic and there, the pull of a dreamy, surreal blend of effects.”
“Dougie Evans’ driving soundtrack includes sound collages and loops shaped from the technological jungle sounds of devices, apps and printers – perfectly showcased in the Skype/text routine with lush strings punctuated by loops of text pings and that trademark ringtone.”
“Dougie Evans’s jittery sound design makes ample use of ringtones, notification pings and Skype and email sound effects, often echoing or overlaying them until they become distorted and disturbing. The very familiarity of the noises, like the familiarity of the blue light, the hunched shoulders and the preoccupied face, is the root of the soundscape’s queasy power.”
“The music plays no small part in this. The sounds of modern technology – from the clicking sounds of typing on a smart phone to sell service check outs – create a show that feels incredibly current. At one point, the two dancers struggle to keep up with the sounds around them, demanding their attention, gradually getting faster and faster.”
