“The recorded memories of twenty First World War veterans are reheard in a sound installation evoking images of life, death, despair and hope in the trenches. Composer John Young (DMU) has sourced the recordings from the Imperial War Museum’s oral history archive and woven them into an immersive soundscape creating a journey through some of the events of the First World War. The stories, told by men and women who lived through the war, were all recorded later in life and offer personal and moving insights into key moments of their wartime lives in this ‘cinema for the ear’ experience.”
