Connecting sound design future with historical creative practices : developing digital tools by modelling historical sound effects

• This paper describes the development of three digital sound prototypes based on three sounding objects selected from those in use at the Swedish Radio Sound Studio. Knowledge about historical and current creative practice was gathered through an in-depth interview with the Swedish Radio sound engineer and sound maker Michael Johansson and the observation of his Foley practice. A design workshop was carried out with music composers and interaction designers to ideate how these historical sound design concepts could be developed in the digital domain. On the basis of the workshop results, we built three prototypes that were exhibited at Tekniska Museet in Stockholm where we gathered feedback from 126 people. Finally, we discuss what we have learnt from utilising an approach rooted in historical creative practice, emphasizing benefits for contemporary digital sound design.
