SI25 Broadcast 1: Soundmapping

Concept

This radio show was inspired by the Aporee exploration day we had together. We collected all the sounds, memories and songs to make a soundboard on Ableton Live. Fred built the soundboard and we used it to mix. We listened to all the content and made notes about them.

Roles

• Fred (Producer) / Kim (Interface)
• Sevgi (host)
