Telling Stories

JAMES T. GREEN

James is an audio artist and designer who is pushing all sorts of storytelling boundaries. His work is bold, experimental and moving. Redzi and I had been getting lost in his audio zine, scraps of documentary and podcast, U+1F60C. Listen for yourself. James uses rhythm and repetition in ways that allow you to really feel the work. He creates something that is whole audio, whole art, whole immersion: a total sensory experience. You can listen to the episode here.
