Filosofia	Award winning sound design studio String and Tins collaborated with Partizan to expertly craft the innovative anniversary campaign showcasing the increasingly diverse sonic nature of Radio 3's output. "When Director Chris Cairns approached us to help prepare for the BBC Radio 3’s 70th birthday celebrations we were naturally honoured…When he then described the incredible series of ideas he had, from having us write a piece of music and sound design to accompany a striking poetry recital by Alice Oswald, destroying a string quartet with power tools to a one-shot idea of following Soweto Kinch and his crew improvising a jazz piece on a ‘La Haine’ style housing estate party, we were excited to say the least!” says sound designer and composer Alex Bingham. “We have had awesome creative and technical input from everyone involved and huge thanks to Chris for giving us such trust and free reign with the soundtrack." For the Alice Oswald poem Chris Cairns gave Alex Bingham the brief to write a piece of music and sound design that followed the emotional journey of the beautiful ‘Rain’ poem. The storyboards, words and images were so striking that the piece kind of wrote itself. Alex went away and built a sound guide highlighting the textures and mood of the film with acoustic, synthesised instruments and sound effects. He fed this into the creative team and together they found a shape to underpin the emotion and imagery of the poem. Producing the music was an explorative process and loads of fun; tuned glass and taps, spectral filtered radio elements, destroyed bit-crushed tubas, scratchy frantic dissonant violins distorted to an inch of their life and roaring feed backed organs to create a wall of sound. A very satisfying process indeed.
