Our Wales is song

This soundscape celebrates our connections to Wales. It includes familiar sounds, music, and voices that are important to the people who created it.

We hope it helps you remember your own special places, people, and moments in Wales.

People are sitting around a table using bright plastic musical tubes.

About our soundscape

This soundscape was created by people with learning disabilities in collaboration with Francesca Dimech.

Over 20 people used their voices and many different instruments to make it.

Music and familiar sounds can help us feel connected to the places that matter to us.

For many of the participants, these sounds brought back memories of Wales and the places that feel like home.

We hope that listening to the soundscape will bring back special memories for you as well.
