WORK HISTORY
Composer & Sound Designer @BBC Studios
Bristol, GB
Rabbit Holes Collective involves a group of artists and creative professionals exploring adaptive podcasting to create unique content and invite (especially young) people to metaphorically ‘fall down a rabbit hole’ to connect more deeply with nature. Individuals discover how they can use adaptive technologies to create podcasts unique to the listener and their context.This Collective started with initial research as part of the Expanded Performance cohort gathering. Following a conversation about the power of the imagination, Penny Hay teamed up with Ian Forrester and James Cook from the BBC, together with a whole host of creatives and now supported through the Trailblazer fund.BBC Research & Development is supporting the Collective in new ways of sharing ideas via digital and emerging technologies, creating peer-to-peer connections and networks of learning and support. Working alongside artists and technologists, the Collective aims to constructively disrupt and reimagine possibilities for digital collaboration by developing ideas in different immersive and sensorial technology.Working with disruptive technology comes with its challenges. The adaptive podcasting app only runs on Android devices and making podcasts for it is similar to writing web pages. However, throughout the collaboration, the artists and creative professionals have stayed upbeat about the possibilities by creating prototypes.

With 10 years experience and a passion for storytelling in sound, I aim to bring a unique creative vision to every project, crafting scores and soundscapes which allow us to have a deeper connection.My sound design work has been widely recognised in the industry, earning me nominations for prestigious BBC Audio Drama Awards and securing multiple wins at independent audio drama festivals for my collaborations with indie productions companies. I have contributed work for clients such as Red Bull, BBC, Audible, Goldhawk Productions, Reduced Listening and many indie companies. I have also worked on big branding campaigns for companies like Clarks and Netflix.My musical versatility spans an array of styles, from intimate acoustic composition to grand orchestral scores and experimental ambient soundscapes. I also have a big network of brilliant instrumentalists whose work I can incorporate into my scores. This approach has led me to work with organisations such as The National Theatre, Bristol Old Vic, Southwark Playhouse, Kiln, The Egg, Nottingham Playhouse, Tobacco Factory Theatres and many more.I am also currently working on a project with collaborators from Bristol University and UWE where we are creating innovative technology to sonify scientific data emitted from 8 European forests. I love to embark on projects where we can think about how sound can provide new pathways for connecting with the world around us.I\'m always interested to discuss new projects and bring my unique approach.
