In winter 2024, Silver Sound hosted our first-ever Biannual Sonic Dash. This competition gave dozens of audio makers from all over the globe 48 hours to create compelling audio pieces completely from scratch - no preexisting audio allowed. For the inaugural competition, all submissions revolved around a secret theme: 'left turns.'

Silver Sound hosted the finalists and judges of the inaugural Sonic Dash at a special live-feedback-and-winner's-ceremony in the heart of NYC. In this episode, join us as we celebrate the craft of audio storytelling.

Today’s episode features our top three entries: 

• 3rd Place: Oil World (Amber Devereux and Ross MacFarlane), "When You Hit Anniesland Cross"
• 2nd Place: Sarah Dalgleish and Nic Neves, "The Ocean Line"
• Grand Prize: Jacki Huntington, "Azcapotzalco"

The next dash will take place in June 2024.
