Treading Water

This was a sound installation made for part of the quayside in Exeter Devon. It was made with a group of elderly people with learning difficulties from the Exeter Age Concern.
Recordings of the elderly people singing and speaking were sited along a riverside walk, a place busy with passers by and river traffic.
The various recordings were made to be heard only in snatches as people passed by, and combined with both other 'found' sounds repositioned from around the quay and the sounds generated in the area.
