Earcatch vs Moving Sound

Visually impaired and wishing to enjoy film, television or theatre? Don't miss a single detail thanks to the audio description in Earcatch. Through your headphones a voice describes what is happening visually. You can use Earcatch in the cinema, in the theatre or at home on the couch. Select the film, episode or show you want to watch and download the corresponding audio description. Put on your headphones and hit ‘play’ as soon as it begins. Earcatch ensures that the audio description is perfectly synchronised with what is happening.

This app is a kind of album. The three pieces it presents were commissioned by Erika Boysen, a flutist and leading innovator in classical music and interdisciplinary performance. Because each piece incorporates singing, speaking, and moving into the performance, Erika wanted to make something more than an album — something that would show the performance in video, and also use video to explore the piece. Each piece in Moving Sound was recorded live in the environment you see. We wanted to make a new kind of media that combines the immediacy of electric delivery with the tactile interaction of a physical product, like a CD or LP. As well as videos, the app includes scores that move with the music, interviews from composers, and behind-the-scenes footage.
