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 Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ archive.

On the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ'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 Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ archive.

Travel through the universal stages of life. From conception and birth, to play and learning. Puberty and rebellion, to love, marriage and beyond.Μύ
Μύ
Through sound design and collage from Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ 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 Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ has changed with them.

Produced by Jason Martin.
