Audio
Long live sound!
Audio is by far the forgotten medium. Well, podcasts have been on the rise in the recent years, but sound is often still put behind image, in terms of the hierarchy of senses. Something to do with it being too subjective, image is what's real, what's objective.
I believe nothing is objective, and that all image and sound is curated by a person, hence it is subjective. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. They key: knowing how to use the potential of sound. And I think I know how...
GARENA
(Basque) Personal, university project
Garena (meaning: what we are) is a podcast proposal. In this podcast, what we are trying to achieve is getting to know someone, a person, just by using the audio, what we hear. In a broad sense. In this podcast the stereotypes, the asumptions that we make when we first see someone, they don't exist. We can only hear the person, listen to them and understand them, through the forgotten medium, the audio.
In the first chapter, I spoke to Ane Alvarez, and I asked her questions like what is her favorite sound, or what she uses her voice for. We had a calm and nice conversation.
