An adventurous audio series by Tom Adams that tells musical, funny and heartfelt stories in unique spaces using innovative recording techniques. The stories range from an epic battle between the Nit Nurse and Margaret Thatcher, a panic attack in an escape room and an intimate tale about 3 scrapbooks that belonged to one Cornish couple.
Incorporating binaural, three dimensional recording to capture the unique acoustics of each location, Headphone Story takes listeners on an immersive journey through carefully curated soundscapes, happy accidents and expert storytelling.
In spring 2023 Museum of Cornish Life was delighted to work alongside Headphone Story to create one of the stories for this new podcast series based on memories. The team visited local memory cafes and then spent time in the museum exploring it from an acoustic viewpoint. The resulting story was recorded live in the museum with an invited audience .
