Sound Spheres experiments with the intertwingled potentialities of hypertext, as an information system, and sound(s), as the basis for non-linear storytelling. Through its combination of digital media, interactivity, and sound(s), Sound Spheres explores storytelling as a sense-making mechanic. Participants use sounds carried in multiple, colored spheres moving about the screen space to create and consider narratives that are both linear and serendipitous. The creative research associated with Sound Spheres seeks to explore new modes and methods of storytelling where sound is a fundamental component.—John Barber
