The History of Healt Care festival turned the old city of Utrecht upside down, troughout the streets large Living History groups were recreated the medical past.Klik hier om de VHM site te bezoeken
The VHM, a Living History group we often work together with, had a unique display, for the audience they recreated a Second World War field hospital.
We were asked to create a soundtrack for the old radio they placed on the ward.
Patients in a 1944 hospital have to hear a 1944 radio broadcast, not only is this good for the patients, it completes the historical setting.
The soundtrack we made sounded just like a proper 1944 broadcast with music, newsflashes, etc.
The hospital looked amazing and the playing radio completed the Historically correct feeling.
