ABOUT HESCHER
Hescher is Cory Sinclair, an artist and musician from Houston who lives in Austin, TX with his wife and daughter.
Sinclair is deeply involved in Dirt Dog Theatre Co.’s production of The Pillowman this March, filling dual roles as both composer/sound designer and lead actor in the play itself. This is Sinclair’s third collaboration with the Houston theatre company.
“There’s always been a dramatic element to my music and performances which comes from a background in theatre. My work on The Pillowman allows me the opportunity to bring both creative roles to the stage: the actor and the musician,” muses Sinclair.
Hescher was awarded the 2022 Houston Theatre Award for Best Sound And Score for his work on A Steady Rain by Keith Huff, also produced by Dirt Dogs Theatre Co.
“Hescher’s score is the best of the season: atmospheric, incredibly moving, absolute perfection. Who is he, and why hasn’t he been heard everywhere in Houston’s theater?” – D.L. GROOVER, JESSICA GOLDMAN AND MARGARET DOWNING, HOUSTON PRESS, August 22, 2022
“The original score from musician Hescher is breathtaking, and becomes the third cast member with much to say eloquently and brilliantly.” – Broadway World: Stage Review, “A Steady Rain” 2022“The [movie’s] most defining feature comes from its significant focus on score as a means to convey both narrative and atmosphere. The soundtrack is a f***ing stunning mix of electronic noise, ambiance, atmospheric noise and genre film inspired tunes.” – Grimoire of Horror: Film Review, “The Barn” 2021
