As they guide us through their process of working on The Undefinable, Pastor and Turner open up a number of rich questions central to a shift from the spectatorial to the purely aural: why does a text-heavy scene feel ‘flat’ on radio? What does a lighting cue sound like? How can we creatively fill in the gaps of the visual with description, and how does audio description take on a life of its own? What is gained and what is lost in the use of foley and sound effects? This recording was made on 18.09.2020.
