About this podcast
Twice a year on each solstice, Silver Sound hosts the Sonic Dash. This competition gives dozens of audio makers from all over the globe 48 hours to create compelling, two-minute-long audio pieces completely from scratch — meaning no preexisting audio, music, or AI-generative material is allowed. At stake is a $1,000 cash prize and tons of industry-defining software and audio equipment.
Join us as we celebrate the craft of audio storytelling. Learn more at sonicdash.nyc ( http://sonicdash.nyc ).
