About
Sound artist, beatboxer, and DJ Jason Singh collaborates with TAPE Community Film and Music, alongside local community groups, to craft a bespoke soundscape that brings the natural beauty of Colwyn Bay to life. This immersive installation transforms the subtle signals from plants, animals, and the landscape into a captivating auditory experience. Through innovative sound design, participants are invited to engage with the environment in new and meaningful ways.
Presented at Prom Xtra, the soundscape will guide visitors along the Bay of Colwyn’s 3-mile coastline. Augmented reality plaques will further enrich the experience, offering binaural recordings, intimate voice notes, and a dynamic multi-channel soundscape that deepens the connection between listener and landscape.
