Narrative and the creation of meaning are two things that are only inherent to humans. And radio is only one more way to express the same ideas layered through our most base instincts. Sound is such a versatile medium. It allows the listener to construct their own individualised world. Each person focuses and reacts to different sounds and audible cues in different ways, allowing for completely different interpretations and experiences. Sound art allows for an audience to be involved and active in the creation of a piece, which can be a very rewarding experience and different every time.
Through this studio I’ve really enjoyed developing my sound design and compositional skills, using field sounds out of context to create emotional experiences and develop new contexts. This studio truly has been a transformative journey.
