Soundtrack pro Screen Shots

 Sounds were recorded in a basement and an empty nightclub, which provided natural ambience.

A directional rifle mic was used to capture sounds in mono, and a Rode NT4 was used for stereo recordings.

'Sense of Space' Outline

The soundscape begins with the creaking of a large metal door being dragged open. The flick of a switch follows and the buzz of light bulbs flaring on overhead travels into the distance, giving a scale to the setting. A blindfolded man is dragged into the empty warehouse and a chair screeches on the concrete floor as it is pulled up. The man is taped to the chair and his captor walks off into a distant part of the warehouse with his footsteps echoing into silence. Water drips from the roof and the sound of machinery hums in the distance. The man struggles with his binds desperately with no luck. The captor returns and liquid is poured all around and over the man as he grunts in desperation through his gag. The empty container is dropped to the floor and rattles into silence. The grinding strike of a match igniting ends the piece

Possible 'Sense of Space' ideas/inspirations

Surreal ambient radio programme 'Blue Jam' parodies the documentarys typical of late night radio shows and creats a vivid image of the setting using monologues with subtle background sounds and music.

 Doing a satire similar to those of Chris Morris would be amusing but ultimately difficult to pull off successfully, especially without seeming like a lesser imitation.

On the Hour, Morris' radio news spoof also features effective comedic pieces and builds imaginative soundscapes...
