成人快手

How are some of Scotland鈥檚 diverse communities discovering the joys of sound art? Join the new generation of noise-makers, as they get creative with their sonic environments.

The very idea of sonic art is, for many, a complete turn-off. It can feel exclusive, challenging, and even threatening. Yet in some surprising places, creative noise-making is capturing the imagination.

In Glasgow, audio innovators from a variety of backgrounds are collecting sounds around them, then shaping their recordings into playful, bizarre and beautiful compositions.

What attracts these new noise-makers? How does their work smash sonic stereotypes? And, who鈥檚 listening?

Radio producer Steve Urquhart spends time with emerging sound recordists 鈥� including unaccompanied young asylum seekers exploring their new audio environments, and people with disabilities crafting original work for an experimental art radio station.

鈥淭o go into the sound landscapes, there鈥檚 depth and openness, and valleys鈥︹��

鈥淎round Possilpark we found the really cool sounds in puddles, bottles, squeaky doors鈥︹��

鈥淐an I make a joyous noise here? That鈥檇 be dead good!鈥�
