Recording in South Sudan is an exercise in navigating uncertainty. In a land where high-fidelity audio is rarely captured, we braved military checkpoints and extreme heat to document 35 GB of rare Ambisonic environments. Learn how these authentic sonic fingerprints can transform your next project from a 'generic' setting into a deeply immersive world.
Sound pushes narrative beyond the limits of hearing; most of the time, it’s a matter of feeling. In this post, Alberto Carlassare talks about the importance of building a sonic dimension through subtle elements to fill the narrative space.
