“Unvoiced” is a project that invites artists to recreate the non-verbal, non-musical sounds of particular scenes from gothic and horror film and television, using foley art and other techniques to think through the sound track and/or reimagine it as sound art.
The first entry in this series, “Okay Bob (Echo),” recreates ambient sounds from the Twin Peaks pilot, 52:42-53:42. Materials: styrofoam, water, paper, shoes, chair, bird, electric piano. Read more about the track here.
The second entry in the series moves back into the history of gothic and horror film, with a study of the foley art and scoring in Carl Theodore Dreyer’s Vampyr (1932). The process here was to take two scenes from the film, loosely imitate their scoring and foley art, and then to rework those materials into new pieces of sound art. You can read more about the project here.
