"The sound design by Joseph "Sloe" Slawinski is magnificent. It is never intrusive, usually evocative, sometimes surreal, often odd and always organic to the moment."
- Geoff Hoff - LA Theater Review – “Slaughter City”
"Sound designer-composer Joseph "Sloe" Slawinski makes period standards and creepy original music almost another character.”
- David C. Nichols - LA Times "California Dreamin'"
” I must heartily applaud the “spine-tingling” sound design by Joseph “Sloe” Slawinski… It kept us jumpin’ in our seats!”
- Pat Taylor – The Tolucan Times – “The Woman In Black”
"Director Tony Gatto has mounted a busy, visually fascinating production, with spectacular help from the designers: …Joseph "Sloe" Slawinski's rich sound design…”
- Neil Weaver – Back Stage - 1969
“Director Tony Gatto has taken a script originally intended as the barest-bones black-box production, and working with sound designer Joseph “Sloe” Slawinski has turned it into a visual-auditory feast that must be seen and heard to be believed-“
-Steven Stanley – Stage Scene LA – “1969”
“Lighting by Matt Richter, Joseph “Sloe” Slawinski’s sound design, and wigs and hair design by Diane Martinous are all excellent.”
- Steven Stanley – Stage Scene LA – “Ecstasy: The Musical”
“Derrick McDaniel’s lighting design and Joseph “Sloe” Slawinski’s sound design are first rate…”
- Steven Stanley – Stage Scene LA – “Cabaret”
“The local creek is drying up and trees are tumbling around the cabin at an alarming rate. (Great sound design by Joseph “Sloe” Slawinski.)”
- Steven Leigh Morris – LA Weekly – “Tree Fall”
“Innovatively directed by Bryan Rasmussen, with Joseph “Sloe” Slawinski’s wonderful sound design.”
- Gerri Garner – Kaleidascope Radio Magazine – “Blood Brothers”
“Full of special effects and Bladerunner-like darkness is instead brought to life on a polished-white modern set design carefully crafted by Adam Rowe and enhanced with sound designer Joseph “Sloe” Slawinski’s futuristic audio clips.”
- Jennifer Fordyce – SoCal.com - “The Caterer”
“Sound design by Joseph Slawinski injects charming humor -- including what seems to be a woman's voice speaking for the machinery referred to as "he."
- Dany Margolies – Back Stage West – “The Increased Difficulty of Concetration”
“Joseph "Sloe" Slawinski’s sound design is particularly evocative —- the sounds of the forest are so convincing that you can almost smell the trees.”
- Cynthia Citron – Curtain Up Los Angeles – “Razorback”
“…Joseph “Sloe” Slawinski’s sound design expertly mixes voices and tracks…”
- Steven Stanley – StageSceneLA.com – “It’s The Housewives”
“There are many outstanding elements to this Time Machine (strong ensemble cast, smart writing, interesting lighting), but it is the modern, cinematic directing of Phil Abatecola, the handcrafted, ever-changing sets of Julian Bane, and the menacing sound design of Joseph “Sloe” Slawinski that stay with you after the curtain comes down.”
- Matthew Sidney Long – LA2DAY.com – “The Time Machine”
“The most notable production elements are designer Marie Brabant's costumes and Joseph Slawinski's striking sound design, which, in tandem with the strobe lighting (no designer credited), create a futuristic ambiance.”
-Deborah Klugman – LA Weekly – “The Time Machine”
“With lighting by Severn Clay, costumes by Maggie Clifton, and music designed by Punk Rock consultant Joseph Slawinski, this show is fast, furious, quick, clever, and outrageously funny. It is well worth the less-than-70-minutes it will take you to experience it.”
- Alan R. Hall – Classical Voice of North Carolina – “Lipstick Traces”
“…subtle, ambient pre-show sound score of voices echoing down the halls of time fully earned the audience's applause before the first line…”
- Byron Woods – The Independent Weekly – “Einstein’s Dreams”
“Edgar disregards dramatic action -- his concerns are intellectual -- so Davis and his sound designer, Joseph "Sloe" Slawinski, fill the theater with fury and sound. The audience is dared to keep up with it all.”
- Adam Sobsey - The News And Observer – “Pentecost”
“Bolstered by a wonderful, quirky set (Stephen Taylor creates an artsy den of purgatory) and a strong sound design (rock n’ roll, cell phones, and southern spirituals are meshed into a sonic gumbo by Joseph “Sloe” Slawinski), “Mark Twain In The 21st Century” has a lot to offer, just like it’s main character.”
