“ Liminal Gallery is delighted to present Day Trip, an immersive exhibition by artist Barnaby Barford and composer and sound artist Pascal Wyse. This sensory exploration of Margate — a town of contrasts, where raw nature collides with the artificial glow of amusement arcades — draws on the long-standing British tradition of seaside day trips, where sea air, bright lights, and sensory overload blur together.”
A couple that got away: Coatbridge and The Madman's Hotel
Two 2024 projects with the lovely folk at Chalk & Blade. Click on the images for information on the Audible website.
The Crimes of Dorian Gray
Score, sound design and mix
by Pascal Wyse
From Audible: “This gripping fictional true crime podcast delves into the story of the enigmatic Dorian Gray, a vigilante who changed the world, rewriting history in the blood of her victims. Her targets were the titans of their era—billionaires, movie stars, politicians. Dorian said they had one thing in common: they had all committed crimes against women. They were rapists, abusers, master manipulators. Dorian left evidence of their heinous offenses with their bodies, and then she vanished without a trace.
“Written and directed by Arvind Ethan David and produced by Prodigal, The Crimes of Dorian Gray is a radical reinvention of Oscar Wilde's gothic masterpiece, exploring the question he asked 150 years ago: what does it mean for the powerful elite to live without consequences? What does it say about the society that allows them? The extraordinary cast includes Lexi Underwood, Lara Pulver, Richard Schiff, and Neil Brown Jr., and an original song by ASCAP winning composer Erran Baron Cohen, performed by Olivier Award winner Lara Pulver.”
Taking a line for a walk … Cautionary Tales
Feels good to be meddling with animation again, as Berger & Wyse. Joe's been conjuring ways of "illustrating" audio, in a style that syncs up with the sound, but not too slavishly. Am mesmerised by what he's created here, to go with my theme tune for the Cautionary Tales podcast.
