“The Tell-Tale Sound” is an interactive, web-based audiovisual project in which the user navigates a story through sound. The project is structured around five distinct narrative paths, each representing a different version and psychological state of the story.

At the same time, the system includes five interactive audio streams, which act as the core navigation mechanism. Through mouse scrolling, the user “tunes” into these audio layers, similar to switching radio frequencies. Each audio stream is directly linked to a specific narrative path, meaning that activating a sound simultaneously triggers the corresponding storyline.

There are no traditional interface elements such as buttons or menus. Scrolling is the primary interaction and functions simultaneously as a selection tool, a timing mechanism, and a transition system. The user does not choose through visual prompts but through listening and sonic variation.

The visual component remains minimal and repetitive, supporting the experience, while sound fully drives the progression. Rather than presenting a fixed narrative, the project operates as a system in which the story continuously reshapes itself through the user’s listening and navigation.
