Freddie Webb on Creating Healing Spaces with Sonic Design
Manage episode 434207596 series 3524308
Can the power of sound transform healthcare? Founding partner and creative director of the acclaimed music and sound design studio, Father, Freddie Webb, certainly thinks so.
In this episode, Freddie recounts his incredible journey from being a band member to pioneering integrated sound strategies in various settings, including healthcare. He opens up about his daughter's fight with Diamond Blackfan Anemia, sharing how his personal experience drove him to understand the profound impact of sound in hospital environments. Freddie's thoughts on sensory design offer a compelling narrative on how thoughtful soundscapes can promote patient well-being.
Together, we explore the often-overlooked elements such as lighting, colour, and materials that play a crucial role in patient recovery. Drawing from past projects, including a collaboration with National Trust, Freddie explains how sound, paired with other sensory elements, can create supportive healthcare environments.
