Time is slipping away; seconds, minutes, hours, days, years…all whiz past in the blink of an eye. And the accelerating changes that take place are inevitable. Soon, not long after that, something is taken away from us; the memories of it are slowly fading away too. Rex is that memory… slowly withering in our minds.

 

Sound design is a very important part of theatre and cinema. It triggers a whole new set of emotions altogether. I have been working with sound a lot and will be making a soundscape which brings to light the presence of Rex Cinema with all its employees and the movie-goers being a part of the whole scene; making Rex the unforgettable place it is.

 

Using sound from in and around Rex, I’ve made a couple of soundscapes: One, a piece which takes you through the journey of a movie-goer; and the others, a stereotyped version of the different genres of movies which are played here.

 

‘The Ticking Epiphany’ is a series of 5 soundscapes which depict the fact that Rex Cinema will be wiped out soon and also the kind of movies that used to be played here are changing too. Sit back and take a look, or rather, listen to the endless transitions of a modern antique.
