  "article": "The Dark House was a ground breaking interactive radio drama in which the listeners dictated\nhow the story was heard.\nThe drama, which was one story told by 3 characters, was adapted for the web.\nThe Dark House was recorded using a binaural recording technique. Based on the principals of\nhuman hearing, binaural recordings are made by placing microphones near the actor's ears.\nListeners experience spatial 3D sound, immersing the listener in the Dark House.\n“The Dark House is a ground breaking interactive radio drama in which you, the listeners,\ndictated how the story was heard.”\n[Radio Times] “No-one can alter the fate of the three characters in a haunted house in this\ninteractive drama, but listeners can change how they hear events unfold. ‘The drama will keep\njumping from one character’s point of view to another in response to the audience,’ says co-\nproducer Izzy Mant. ‘Listeners can ‘phone or text in at any point in the drama, and as many times\nas they like, to say which perspective they want to hear next.’\n“In effect, the drama has been recorded in three different versions, each one from the point of\nview of a different character. With some newly created technology to collate all of the votes and\nswitch the action every few minutes, the audience will shape its own chilling tale…its impact is\nheightened for listeners in stereo by a binaural recording technique which produces a three-\ndimensional effect. The entire recording will be available to listeners to produce their individual\nversions after the broadcast.”",
