THE LISTENING ROOM
by Narratique
In 2089, the city has cured noise. Rain disappears into underground channels, machines whisper, and public sound is licensed, filtered, and sold back by subscription. Audio archivist Mara Venn restores ten forbidden recordings and discovers that the lost sounds are assembling a message addressed to her. THE LISTENING ROOM is a complete ten-part speculative audio mystery about memory, public space, synthetic voices, and the radical act of paying attention. A Narratique production.
