Dreamscape - Audio Narrative

This project is an audio narrative that aims to highlight the dichotomy between the technological and natural worlds and the tendency we have to remain engaged without taking a break. You wake up, as normal, to your alarm. It’s another day, working/studying from home, just working away at your computer, staring at the screen. It has been the same thing for days on end, but today, it all becomes too much. Your computer is acting up, and every time you type, you keep getting error, upon error. You have reached your tipping point; everything is just feeling overwhelming, and you have had enough. In an act of frustration, you sweep everything off your desk you just run. Run away from the noise, and go outside for some fresh air. After taking a breath, you look around and see a beautiful landscape. It is an open space, grass under your feet, and a river to your side. Birds are flying free and you let out a laugh of relief as you let the sun shine on your face. You are in a happy and calm place. However, in the distance, and quickly getting louder, you hear an alarm. Just like this morning, but… Guess you have to get back to work. Audio creation edited using industry-standard software such as Audacity, REAPER, Helm, and FMOD Studio.
