Alice's latest soundtrack, for the afternoon drama 'Noise' will be broadcast on BBC Radio 4 this Tuesday afternoon 20th March at 2.15pm

'Noise' is produced by Polly Thomas and written by BAFTA-nominated writer Alex Bulmer. It is an intriguing, sound-driven mystery about memory loss and trust. Alex Bulmer is one of the writers of Channel 4’s ground-breaking drama Cast Offs. She wanted to write a piece about someone decoding and understanding the world through sounds, similar to the way she herself does as a blind person.

The story: Kit is making good progress, after being found unconscious in a local park one freezing February night. Her hypothermia induced memory loss has left her unsure of herself or her surroundings. With the help of hospital therapist, Helena, and her fiancé Dan, Kit returns home, but something isn’t quite right... What is that strange piano melody that keeps penetrating her consciousness? And why is Dan so insistent that she stay indoors? What is the wooden object in the living room that Dan doesn’t want her to touch? And who is Matt, the man who keeps calling? As Kit slowly recovers her memory, she begins to fit together the pieces.
