Welcome to We Found Love In The 80s. 

We launch this podcast with a soundscape made by Martyn Ware, musician and founder of the Human League and Heaven 17. It features soundbites of all of the couples interviewed for this project. Here are a few words from Martyn about the soundscape. 

"The soundscape was created in 3D using our software 3DAudioScape, which enables us to move sounds around in three dimensions. This would normally be played back in a real-world exhibition space, but in this instance we rendered the soundscape into binaural  - best listened to on headphones, which will create a sense of immersion in the experience. If this was in a real world space, the listener would have been able to ‘visit’ the different voices by moving around the space, thereby creating their own personal ‘mix’ of voices within the soundscape, but to make the voices more legible, we have spaced them out more on the timeline for headphones. The selection of comments from the couples was based on the most entertaining and/or emotionally engaging material. Hope you like it"
