Making A New World

On the eleventh hour, of the eleventh day, of the eleventh month, the guns fell silent. A new world was born in the aftermath of global conflict.

Imperial War Museums' new season Making a New World, explores themes of remembrance and how the First World War has shaped today’s society through a free programme of art, photography, film, live music, dance and conversations.

Sound design to enhance the story of this promotional short film. Custom foley recordings were created for the needle moving on the seismometer, picking up the vibrations of warfare. An ambient tone during the silence after the last gunshot keeps us in suspense, until resolution is reached from the uplifting music.
