Researching companies I might try and apply for if I am successful with DPS. I found Reduced Listening, thus this particular show created for BBC4. ‘The End Of The World Has Already Happened”.
Great piece by Anna Peaker featured on the soundtrack.
I really like this particular type of radio production, conversations with clear environments in the background. Most probably recorded on a portable field recorder. The main overdub script is centre of the mix, but with the interview sections having more life in them with the interviewee and interviewer panned slightly to differentiate the sound from the overdub. This subtle spatial change tells people the scene has changed. Sound elements are added in to sort of accentuate parts of dialogue and music and field recording dispersed and curated to sort of aid your engagement with the words.
Another production by Reduced Listening, I am also a fan of Infant Tree productions who do a series for BBC3 Radio called ‘Between The Ears’
Here is a special one from Field Recordist and guest lecturer from last year Jana Winderen
