WILD WITHIN: BINAURAL AUDIO EXPERIENCE
In partnership with the young people at Sutton Community Academy (SCA) I created a binaural audio experience, showcased using individual headsets as part of the TAKEOVER Festival 2025.
The sound experience was made through vocal exploration and body percussion and embodies different natural and urban landscapes.
This audio piece was displayed for festivalgoers in March 2025 in Mansfield alongside a movement-based performance, which was a looped and projected video installation, also made in collaboration with SCA. As the young people are visible in the video, I can’t share this piece publicly, but I can share it via an unlisted link upon request.
WILD WITHIN unpacked the inner workings of our hopes and dreams, and what it means to embrace the wild within.
I’m pleased to share the soundscape with you - best experienced using wired headphones - enjoy!
A group of people sit in chairs and on beanbags in a dimly lit room with pink and purple lighting, watching a video projected on a large wall screen. The video shows a lineup of people standing in rows, with decorative masks. The room has minimal decor, with a reflective surface dividing the image down the centre, creating a mirrored effect of the audience.
A group of twelve children and one adult stand closely together in a warmly lit room with a strong red hue. They are smiling and appear to be part of a school or community event. Some of the children hold bags or folders. The adult in the centre holds papers and is also smiling. The background wall is mostly bare, except for a decorative vine with red flowers arranged on the right side.
A large, diverse group of people—children, teens, and adults—pose together indoors beneath large red balloon letters spelling "TAKEOVER." Many are smiling and wearing colourful clothing, with some in tie-dye shirts, "Takeover" branded hoodies, or costumes. The background includes vibrant posters promoting local events and community messages. The atmosphere is festive and inclusive.
