3 min

Bob and Mary are expecting. As this is their first child, Bob considers if he's even going to be in the room when Mary gives birth due to nerves and a multitude of emotions. As he goes through these reflections, he writes it all down and tucks it away in a journal. Decades later and after his death, Bob's granddaughter, Kellyn, finds this journal entry and decides to make a "sound poem" about her grandfather's emotions and the birth of her father, transcending years of family history and memory. Kellyn narrates this journal entry from the perspective of her grandfather and produces this sound poem, including her own field recordings, foley, and editing.

What is it like to living with a condition which turns your mind against you? Having thoughts that go against your morals, ethics and heart? This condition is called POCD, which stands for Pure-OCD. It’s the sibling of the more popularly known OCD and comes with its own unique set of struggles and traits which can be incredibly distressing for those who have it.

We have spoken to someone who has lived with this condition all their life. Most recently the obsessions made her believe she had killed her best friend, who passed away from cancer.

How has she overcome this and what does the future hold when your mind can be your worst enemy?

4 min

A story about a crush at a rooftop bar during a solo trip. This short audio piece explores romantic body language cues, examining the intricate choreography of a girl-meets-boy scenario and its translatability across cultures. Blending personal experiences with fictional elements, the narrative contemplates flirting as a universal language, where every gesture (or move) carries significant meaning—or at least, one hopes it does.

Produced by Eloïse Bertil around a field recording from the Cities & Memory sound database for their Spring Project.
