“Your experience has been a most entertaining one” [REDH]
What does it take to bring Sherlock Holmes to life for a modern audio audience? Pascal Hughes, the British media executive behind Noiser, tells us about the company now producing a new series of Sherlock Holmes adventures read by actor Hugh Bonneville.
Pascal takes us on a journey from his love of history and his early days directing television to his transition into audio storytelling. Along the way, we discover the remarkable team of composers, sound designers, and audio engineers who help transform Conan Doyle’s classic tales into immersive listening experiences.
There is a lot more to great audio storytelling than just reading the words on the page. Pascal explains how his team approaches each story, chooses music and sound effects, and spends days mastering each recording to make sure it sounds great no matter how you’re listening.
We also touch on the preparation that goes into Hugh Bonneville’s performances, and the care behind every production decision. We loved Pascal’s enthusiasm for this work: he and his team seem to be having a wonderful time finding new ways to share these timeless adventures with today’s listeners.
Our “Learned Societies” segment kicks off with Sherlockian society activities finishing off the second half of December. Then, it’s the latest edition of “Examining the Pictures,” with the film critic, journalist, and author Christian Monggaard, BSI, reassesses his criticism look of Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows from 2011. Finally, the Canonical Couplet quiz will test your Sherlock Holmes knowledge, with a very special journal for the winner.
