Sound and experience. Home and the music of it. How can we explore the sound of a place? Can it be recreated? Shared?

As people, our sensory experiences weave and meld to create a tapestry that is individual to ourselves. It comes from the world around us but it is our own. In a school, these sounds are amplified further - they become happier, joyful, more urgent. Skerries, along with the broader concept of home, is a place rich with music and sound. Its thread is strong.

As a group, the children explored sounds that resonated with them. We spoke about water, and birds, and laughter, and rain, and ice cream. It is all here, in this piece. They created music with the instruments that brought them most joy. These artists used experience and instinct to share the sounds of Skerries.
