Two-Time Sonic Dash Champion Oliver Morris' on the Art of Controlled Chaos
Friday, 18 September, 2026

On this special season finale of the Sonic Dash Podcast, host Cory Choy (founder of the Dash, Emmy Award-winning sound mixer, and owner of Silver Sound Studios) sits down with Oliver Morris, who, along with his creative partner Jude Hodgson Hann, took home back-to-back Grand Prizes at the 2025 Sonic Dashes.Oliver shares the techniques behind their team's unmistakable sound and unique storytelling: rapid-fire creative exercises that helped them develop the skills to quickly get to a first draft, and then refine it through ruthless cutting and rewriting. They also break down their winning pieces, from the goat-sacrifice comedy of "Scapegoat" to the grotesque, tea-fueled horror of "Tea, Am I," exploring the role of sound design, music, voice acting, and creative writing played in their prize-winning submissions.Listen to 'Kane and Feels: The Horror Noir Podcast' by Skadi's Symphony: https://kaneandfeels.libsyn.com/Entries to the January 2027 Sonic Dash are now open!
