GUEST ARTIST: Scot Maupin's "Breathing Space”
A note from Scot: “My entry for the Summer 2025 Silver Sound Sonic Dash competition. It's a 48 hour audio competition where you are given a prompt at the beginning of the time and by the end you must submit a piece of audio no longer than 2 minutes made entirely from scratch during those two days. This time the prompt was 'TMI.' I wanted to talk about some of the negative self-talk that my brain, and I think many brains, can whisper at times. All sounds are either my voice or an instrument I am playing, and it was a really challenging but enjoyable process. I was selected to be in the top ten finalists for this competition.”
Scot Maupin lives in Oakland, California. As a longtime fan of radio and now podcasts, Scot started making his own called The Perfect Show during the pandemic to give him positive things to focus on. He shares a studio with two cats named Pixie and Corn Dog.
