Sound Swimmers 3: Pupils from a SEN secondary school create an audio-visual installation

Sound Swimmers is project 1 of a 3 part Youth Music funded SEN school project programme. The project took place at Hazel Court SEN school in Eastbourne 04/22 - 06/22. Each project shares the aim of trialing innovative ways of engaging SEN schools in project work utilising music, film and inclusive music teaching aids and tools. The brief for Sound Swimmers was to work with the school over 10 weeks to create an interactive sound installation. This blog highlights some of the milestones along the journey. 

Although i have not finished describing the process stages of this project i wanted to share the music and video elements of the installation created which has now been published. The installation was hosted at Hazel Court school at the end of the project. Parents and family of pupils attended along with pupils and teaching staff from the rest of the school / Hazel Court Further education college attended. 

The installation was presented in a space with unusual musical instruments and adaptive technology, the audience is invited to play the films and improvise to the soundtracks using the instruments.
