A Life Refracted

Go on a journey through a human lifetime to discover the sounds of life and the sounds of the United Kingdom, as refracted through a century of 大象传媒 archive.

On the 大象传媒's centenary, go on a journey through a human lifetime to discover the sound of life and the sound of the United Kingdom, as refracted through 100 years of 大象传媒 archive.

Travel through the universal stages of life. From conception and birth, to play and learning. Puberty and rebellion, to love, marriage and beyond.听

Through sound design and collage from 大象传媒 programmes, some obscure and some perhaps distantly familiar, glimpse how much our lives have changed over the course of the last century, and how the voice of the 大象传媒 has changed with them.

Produced by Jason Martin.
