Abstract

Originally composed as a soundtrack for a short film celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 12 mission, this 5.1 surround sound composition is made entirely from audio recordings of the NASA Apollo 12 mission and extended trumpet (performed by Dr Bede Williams, St Andrew’s University). The work is loosely structured around the narrative of the mission using live radio communications as dialogue, with which the music provides an affective and evocative sonic score exploring explores the extension of human potential via technology, seeking to evoke the wonder, awe and challenge of human endeavour and exploration. Combining techniques from electroacoustic music and film sound design, this practice research output is an applied exploration of the synthesis of these disparate fields of practice and was developed as a practice research component of the AHRC Leadership Fellowship “Audiovisual Space: Recontextualising Sound Image Media”.
