Series 2 is here: 18th century sound effects, prehistoric South Indian ‘rock gongs’ and why Baroque music probably didn’t sound like you think…
A familiar sound from the past is like a time machine. It can take you right back – just for a flash of a second – to a moment in your past. But can we get the same powerful sense of time travel further back in time? Can we travel to other people’s pasts through sound?
In this podcast series, meet the researchers uncovering the lost sounds of the past. Their projects to reconstruct past sounds can tell us something important about real people’s experiences, and they can also tell us about ourselves and our world today.
Insights that we often miss when we look but don’t listen.
