Monoliths

Three stories open the world of the northern landscape in virtual reality

Three women, three voices, the Northern landscape. Is my voice loud enough? Feel the grass under your feet. I can hear the sea.

Three stories open the world of the northern landscape in virtual reality, what it means to come from it, live in it and belong to it.

Monoliths will combine the soundscapes of real locations in the north with the stories of three northern women. Audiences will experience three artistically rendered environments based on real outdoor locations. Monologues will be delivered using spatially recorded voices. An exploration on how to meld the real audio soundscape of a location with 3D rendered environments, Monoliths aims to celebrate the stories of young women.

Their stories and origins are tied to the landscape where they come from and have grown up. They are monoliths – standing stones – powerful and influential forces.
