Silver Sound Presents: The Sonic Dash
Every Winter and Summer, Silver Sound hosts the Sonic Dash. This competition gives dozens of audio makers from all over the globe 48 hours to create compelling, two-minute long, audio pieces completely from scratch - no preexisting audio allowed. Each Dash has its own theme that serves as the only constraint for the content that is allowed to be submitted. Silver Sound hosts the finalists and judges of the Sonic Dash at a special live-feedback-and-winner's-ceremony in the heart of NYC. Join us as we celebrate the craft of audio storytelling.
