A year long series of workshops with Rotherham Sight and Sound, developing new and innovative musical devices, designed specifically for people with visual impairments, in response to a series of detailed workshop exercises, conversations and feedback.

We invited participants to play with sound in creative ways, connect with their sonic environments, exploring how sound can interact and illuminate spaces.

Each week we worked as a group on a number of different activities, building on how each participant engages with and encounters sound, discussing interesting ways to develop the next sessions in a responsive and meaningful way.

In conitnuation of Rian's previous work in creating bespoke music multiplayer music software, we developed new ways of working together and connecting as a group, leading to a new exhibition, performances and multichannel sound art installation in 2023.
