Sonic Storytelling: Re-interpreting Gothic Horror

An investigation into contemporary media is undertaken through the exploration of sonic landscapes and the art of foley. We aim to question how varying auditory interpretations and translations can alter the experience of a narrative in storytelling.

Our approach involves a collaborative and iterative synthesis of visuals, film, objects and sound, with a particular reference to Susan Hill's "The Woman in Black" and its subsequent adaptations. Through this process, we aim to accumulate our findings into an interactive installation that invites the Bartlett community to actively engage with our research. This engagement is facilitated through a conducted foley orchestra.
