STRIP DISTRICT

STRIP DISTRICT is a creative audio tour.  The process of creating STRIP DISTRICT involves integrating sound and spoken narrative to create a cohesive artistic experience that brings the strip alive. 

First, sounds from present day Strip District are captured using state of the art technology.  These are layered into the composition along with historic sounds like trolleys; distinct dialects and languages found throughout the history of Pittsburgh; many of which will be original pieces of Foley art recorded at SONARCHEOLOGY STUDIOS.  Layered on top of the sound composition is a spoken narrative, written after researching the history of the strip and interviewing local historians and long-time residents.  The narrative will include diverse voices and perspectives, giving listeners insight into a wide range of Pittsburgh experiences.  These voices will be recorded with voice actors to give the piece rich texture.
