Tessa Flannery on Building a Spaceship from Household Sounds

The Sonic Dash Podcast continues its behind-the-scenes look into the standout pieces from the latest Sonic Dash, themed "Go For Broke." In this episode, host Cory Choy (founder of the Dash, Emmy-winning sound mixer, and owner of Silver Sound Studios) sits down with finalist Tessa Flannery to dissect "Space Junk," the Dash entry she created with Allie Kroeper.

A four-time Dasher and three-time finalist, Tessa shares how her approach has evolved across the competitions, from early submissions built around theatrical performances to "Space Junk," a highly sound-designed piece set on a spaceship. Tessa walks us step-by-step through her creative process, from scripting to building the spaceship's sonic world from her own air conditioner, fan, and fridge.
