Roslyn Oades, Bob Scott and Collaborators
The Nightline

The Nightline is an audio portrait of the night inspired by locally-sourced anonymous phone messages, left between the hours of midnight and 6am. 

Further Information

At the heart of The Nightline is a creative partnership between director Roslyn Oades and sound artist Bob Scott. In the spirit of creative non-fiction, The Nightline recomposes from reality to conjure up a shared story and a temporary community of sorts – made up of those still awake after midnight. The work draws on field recordings, phone messages, composition and site-responsive design to create an immersive theatrical audio experience. Step into an exclusive underground listening club designed for insomniacs, night owls, lonely-hearts, worriers and dreamers. The Nightline promises companionship to the sleepless and rest to the restless
