A Silent Warble
A silent short narrative of a blind foley artist and how he roams around the world heritage city of Ahmedabad, India collecting sounds in his unique recorder. The film is heavily sound designed with ASMR technology, and is a metaphorical reflection of what natural sounds are we missing out in the chaos and cacophony of a mechanical city of this era.
