Social Confusion.
Do you want to get away for 3 1/2 minutes? Try this: Close your door. Put on your head phones or turn up your speakers. Close your eyes. Click here and listen.
Did you laugh? Did you picture yourself on a specific street corner, or did you recall a detailed, awkward memory with a creeped-out stranger?
You’ve just experienced the art of Phonography, the brainchild of independent producer, writer, filmmaker and former fruit picker, Ryan Scammell. His mostly fiction audio essays combine spot-on scoring with beautifully layered sound effects, leaving no question as to whether he has chosen the best medium for his art.
Listening, like really actively listening, is one of the hardest things to do in the world. But if you let them, Scammell’s high-flown stories and hypnotic voice will take you to a place where listening comes almost as naturally as feeling.

An interesting story told in a very interesting way. The scoring adds so much to the weave of the tale.

My ad fellows (not in competition with you hipsters in redpepperLand) enjoyed this link today. Thanks for providing inspiration.
We have one request though. Show us your faces. Write some cool bios and let’s get personal.

@Tami. That’s an interesting request. Would you feel more apt to read if you could picture the face of the authors?
