A sound installation created by Danny McCarthy and Viv Corringham.
Sounding The Town
Sounding The Town
More than 100 people from Cobh ranging from eight to eighty years of
age were asked the question: If you had a magic wand, how would you
transform Cobh?
Come and hear their answers and the unique sounds of the town
combined with improvisations and compositions by the two artists to
create an original and engaging sound installation. The format of the
installation will be indeterminate ensuring that each visit will be
unique as the sounds will never be the same at any one time.
