Manifesto
- At the origins of our work is the art of listening: in this hyper-visual society that wants to see everything we go back to sounds to recover what’s essential.
- We know the impact of oral storytelling and we want to rediscover it: we look for people’s voices, vehicle of stories and emotions, the essence of communication, roots of every story.
- Any story can be told “from the point of view of sound”.
- Our mics tell real stories and often go where a videocamera couldn’t: our mics record in the dark, are discrete and noninvasive and respect privacy
- We love sounds in all shapes and forms. A noise can become a symphony and a sound can tell more than a thousand words.
- Audio must be clean, high quality, deep and dynamic.
- We make audio memories: people have pictures of every moment of their lives but they never document the sounds around them.
- Reality-based storytelling in audio leaves plenty of room to imagination: it is a genre where cinema and literature meet.
- Docusound doesn’t deny images: being attentive listeners helps return to images with a deeper awareness and perceptive sensitivity.
- Docusound includes the visually impaired: millions of people who are cut out of the visual communication circuits.
