The Sound Nest is an interactive music-making experience set within stunning, synchronised visual projections. Designed for inclusivity, the installation allows groups to have fun creating harmonious music together in response to an animated musical score. Participants are encouraged to lie on bean bags or on the floor to take in the beautiful projections in this zen space.
The music and visuals were co-created by Jane Cassidy and Andrew Madec alongside artists with intellectual disabilities. That’s Life is an award-winning arts and personal development programme based in Galway.
