A new project utilising the amazing sound archive at Orkney Library and Archive has revealed a rich tapestry of stories recorded over a long period of time.
‘Orkney Soundwaves: Home’ has been developed by Mark Jenkins & Rebecca Marr of Kolekto . What they found in the sound archives was a rich resource of voices recorded on reel-to-reel tapes and cassettes.
Taking as their theme ‘Home’ Kolekto have produced and ‘audio ballad’ which is described as a ‘lyrical and immersive experience.
