aural

In the annex, the sound bleeds between rooms, making the aural component of the display all but impossible to understand.

Disorientating on first listen, the aural chaos serves a purpose, as singer Ellie Rowsell confronts misogyny and self-doubt in the verses before rising above the noise for a bucolic chorus.

She is a superb mimic of nature’s aural realm — the sounds of animals, of a river, of trees in the wind, of rocks falling down a hillside.

The aural dig is worth it for all.

Sound mixer Simon Hayes said the live singing shifts further past just the aural experience attached to their performances.
