Soundworlds is not just a podcast. It’s an audio stage for diverse stories told in extraordinary ways. It’s a place for an exciting new form of audio drama that we call sonic theatre. Created by musicians, writers, theatre-makers and sound artists, sonic theatre pieces are more than radio plays. They’re immersive sound worlds, intoxicating blends of music and storytelling, sound design, documentary and fiction.
A series of four sonic theatre miniatures, inspired by the suffocating interiors and suburban tableaux of Raymond Carver’s iconic 1981 short story collection. Using an extended palette of audio storytelling techniques, from the naturalistic to the surrealist, this collaboration holds a microphone between the lines of Carver’s concise prose to amplify what’s left unsaid.
