The project was, in essence, to create an interactive audio art installation using bespoke sound designs and unique sound sculptures at a factory in the Granton area of Edinburgh.

The clients wanted to demonstrate, using only distorted sounds in 3 particular parts of the building’s ‘ghostly memories’ at the now derelict electric car factory called ‘The Madelvic Motor Carriage Company’ who are thought to be the oldest purpose-built car factory in the UK.

Each of the three rooms (OFFICE, CANTEEN & FACTORY) will have custom created sounds, warped memoirs, twisted and distorted ‘if these rooms could talk, what would they say?’ The sounds will be created by imagining what sounds would be heard during the time period, the turn of the 20th century.
