PROLOGUE: Adriene

The whole team at HTBD has been working, at this point for years, on a new season about Odes[s]a, Ukraine. While we’re impatient to put out everything we’ve been preparing, we decided to take our time and frame what you will be hearing this season. A prologue if you will. For the next few weeks, we’ll be releasing these short casual clips that explain our approach (and how it changed) this season. Because of the nature of audio, it’s easy to think that the person in front of the microphone is going it alone. But HTBD is a pretty large lift made all the easier by Adriene, who has been the show’s sound designer since season 3 and is now the executive producer too. Adriene and Jess have worked together on projects for years but we rarely get to hear from her. So before we kick off this season, here is Adriene talking more about the sonic “identity” of HTBD.
