Thorington found her way to sound through her writing. After publishing Adventures at Frog Hollow[http://www.ebay.com/itm/1973-Adventures-at-Frog-Hollow-by-Helen-Thorington-Mimi-Martin-Ghosts-Haunted-/172172008512?hash=item2816405c40:g:PR0AAOSw9uFW9VH1 Helen. Thorington, Martin. Mimi, "Adventures at Frog Hollow." 1973] in 1973, she was invited to produce a musical version for Towanda Performing Arts,"An effort in cooperative theatre, Towanda Performing Arts is made up of Towanda Little Theatre, the Towanda' Musical Society, and the Towanda branch of the Association of University Women. "The Frog Hollow Ghost" is being sponsored by the Mansfield branch of the American Association of University Women." The Evening Times from Sayre, Pennsylvania, November 6, 1973, Page 9 [https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/66818827/] Towanda, Pennsylvania. Having no musical experience, she learned how to use an EML 101 Synthesizer and began creating her own compositions, including [https://archive.org/details/helen_thorington/tryingtothink.mp3 Trying to Think] (1974) which influenced such artists as Laurie Anderson and Jacki Apple. Later, she began doing her own Field recordings − bats, oil pumps, trains, parrots, frogs − which she mixed with her synthetic sounds, her own and others' voices, and solo improvisations by musicians such as violinist Aurora Manuel ("Piece for Oil Pump and Violin"); cellist Deidre Murray ("Dracula's Wives"); and accordionist Guy Klucsevek ("North Country").

Thorington described her approach to sound this way: "My focus ... has been on radiophonic space. One of the things that distinguishes the electronic media is the ability to separate sound from its source, to remove environmental sound from its location, vocal sound from a person; to be able to cut, manipulate, and alter it in the creation of another kind of work. I liken this to the science of gene manipulation. We've reduced — or, I as a practicing radio artist, reduce — sound to sound data. I am not concerned that it's music, that it's an environment, that it's voice."Laskin. David, "Sound Advice to Save the Planet: Discussion with David Dunn, Bruce Odland, and Helen Thorington, EAR Magazine [http://new-radio.org/helen/about/soundadvice.html] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151105000613/http://new-radio.org/helen/about/soundadvice.html|date=2015-11-05}}

In 1979, independent public radio producer Larry Josephson invited Thorington to the Airlie Seminar on the Art of Radio"National Endowment for the Arts and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting: Four "Airlie Seminars" are held in which leaders, creators and advocates discuss and define the values of public radio." 1977-1983 [http://www.airlie.com/about/timeline] in Quantico, Virginia, where she premiered Dream Sequence. National Public Radio (US) purchased it, and it was among the first radio art works broadcast nationally (1977). Thorington was also commissioned by RAI (Italian radio), RNE (Spanish Radio) and ORF (Austrian radio). Her collaborators included Suzan-Lori Parks, Regine Beyer, Shelley Hirsch, Pamela Z, Agnieszka Waligorska and Sarah Montague.

Thorington spoke at international Radio art conferences and served as the Radio Editor for EAR Magazine from 1987 to 1989. She also curated the CD series [http://www.nseq.org/wp-content/files_mf/wn013_014revs70.pdf Radius] which was dedicated to presenting experimental works made for radio broadcast to a wider audience. Her documentaries, dramas, and sound compositions have been aired on radio, internationally, for the past thirty-five years.[http://www.josephinebosma.com/web/node/60 Bosma.
