Words and sound in the studio
An original information sheet for an invented radio workshop.
Choose where you will begin
Collect one card when you arrive:
WORDS CARD - go to the script station
Build a twenty-second introduction, select the most useful details and justify the order you choose.
SOUND CARD - go to the control station
Combine recorded voices and music, alter their volume and judge whether every word can be heard.
Your card sets your starting point; it does not decide your whole visit. After twelve minutes, a chime sends each group to the other station.
One programme, two kinds of decision
A broadcast depends on language decisions as much as sound decisions. Neither station is an observation area: everyone produces material that may be used in the final recording.
How does the writer of the sheet direct visitors to a starting station and present the work at both stations as a genuine contribution?
