    Sonic Dash: Sport, Story, and Sound in Browen Livingstone's 'Shooting My Shot'

    The Sonic Dash Podcast continues its behind-the-scenes look at the winning pieces from the latest Sonic Dash, themed "Go For Broke." In this episode, host Cory Choy (founder of the Dash, Emmy-winning sound mixer, and owner of Silver Sound Studios) sits down with Glasgow-based audio creator Bronwen Livingstone, who took home third place with her piece "Shooting My Shot." Bronwen walks through how she distilled a deeply personal and vulnerable story into just two minutes of audio. She discusses her scripting method, including a handwritten "paper sound edit" where she marked emotional cues and sound effects before ever opening a DAW. Plus, she shares more about her journey as a para athlete and how the discipline she's gained from sports shows up in her creative approach.

    Sonic Dash: How Michael Satow Turned His Errands Into a Prize-Winning Piece

    The Sonic Dash Podcast continues its behind-the-scenes look at the winning pieces from the latest Sonic Dash, themed "Go For Broke." In this episode, host Cory Choy (founder of the Dash, Emmy-winning sound mixer and owner at Silver Sound Studios) sits down with actor and director Michael Satow to discuss his piece "Free Piano," which took home the second-place prize at this summer's Dash. Michael, the co-creator of the true-crime parody podcast The Murderer Killings, walks us through how he built "Free Piano" almost entirely from real life. Rather than planning in advance, he let his daily schedule shape the piece's structure. Listen to hear how Michael uses his acting and directing skills to capture spontaneity through tape gathering, voice-over, and more.

    Sonic Dash: How 'Tales From the Cloud Sea' Improvised Their Way to the Grand Prize (Excerpt)

    Twice a year, contestants from around the world compete in the Biannual Sonic Dash, where they have only 48-hours to build a two-minute piece completely from scratch: meaning no pre-existing music, no archival audio, and no generative AI is allowed. So how do they do it? This season on the Sonic Dash Podcast, we're taking you behind the scenes of our finalists' processes. You'll hear the genius audio tricks and creative solutions our finalists used to create audio magic. In this episode, host Cory Choy (founder of the Dash and Emmy Award-winning sound mixer) sits down with the members of Tales From the Cloud Sea, the Grand Prize winners of the latest Dash. Their winning piece, "Go For Broke, or Gopher Broke?" took home the $1,000 cash prize and a haul of industry gear. Tune in to hear how they created a winning piece without a script, how they used creative constraints to their advantage, and more.
