Abstract Details

2021, Bachelor of Science of Media Arts and Studies (BSC), Ohio University, Media Arts and Studies.
In my creative project and associated paper, I explore a hybrid medium, songcasting, that combines the most compelling elements of podcasts with the most compelling elements of songs. For the creation of this specific songcast, I interviewed 7 talented storytellers to capture audio recordings of them telling stories. From these, I chose a story about a Minnesotan teenager and his sister exploring Australia in 1979, and I built my songcast around it. This story explores coming of age, what it means to live in the modern world, cross-cultural relations, and more. The music and narration are carefully arranged and fused together to provide an immersive listening experience. While this songcast highlights the medium’s strengths, it is only one example of the many possibilities of songcasting. By synthesizing music, an emphasis on parasocial relationships, and the storytelling modes of both songs and podcasts, songcasts stand apart as unique audio format.
