The Warcast. A 3d-audio journey of children in war.
Experience the true story of Jasmine, a Syrian girl who had to flee from war. A delicate story to reenact. That’s why all actors are Syrian refugees, all sounds recorded live in 3d on location and music exclusively 3d-recorded by artist Damien Rice.
The medium of a podcast is a very intimate way to reach people and really make them listen. Combined with the technique of binaural audio (3d-audio), which is more relevant than ever due to the fact that everyone listening with headphones, we were able to take people on a journey in which they not only hear the story, but really feel it. By partnering up with Spotify and Damien Rice the unheard story of Jasmine managed to reach more than a million people. The unheard story of Jasmine is just one of many unheard stories, so the plan is to produce more in the future.
You can listen to the Warcast in Dutch or English on Spotify. Make sure you do this with headphones for the 3d-effect.
We chose to not simply tell the story, but let people really experience it. With a 3d-audio podcast called the Warcast. The Warcast lets you experience the true story of Jasmine, an 8 year old girl who had to flee the war in Syria. Seeing that it is a very delicate story to reenact, we did everything to create a sound-experience that was as authentic as possible. All the people you hear in the podcast are Syrian refugees themselves. All the sounds you hear (except for the bombs) are recorded live in 3d on several outdoor-locations. And the music is recorded exclusively for the Warcast in 3d by famous artist Damien Rice.
More children than ever are a victim of war. They all carry their own story with them. But for some reason these stories are left unheard, more and more. War child asked us to find a way to get people to listen to these unheard stories again. So that these children become more than just another anonymous statistic.
