She was a sound designer for immersive theater, which meant her MacBook Pro wasn’t just a tool—it was a haunted instrument. On a good night, she could route a creaking door from Ableton Live into QLab, out through a USB interface, and into eight speakers hidden inside a fake forest. On a bad night, the audio drivers collapsed like a dying star, and the only sound was the hum of her own frustration.
