Using contact mics to listen to our insides.

For KCRW’s 24 Hour Radio Race I teamed up with producer Katie Revell to create a non-fiction piece under 4 minutes to the theme of “'Your Secret’s Safe With Me.”

In 24 hours we created this short documentary from scratch looking at the secrets that our bodies keep. We spoke to three generations of one family to look specifically at marks on the body caused by pregnancy and childbirth.

The sound design was made by recording materials as we stretched them, listening to our innards with contact mics, then elongating and compressing these sounds.

They’re like a secret code: people who have them know how to decipher them.”
