Creative Wiltshire is working on materials for education vistors to Stonehenge.  One element of the commission is to produce a soundscape designed to focus and centre the audience and start them thinking about the ancient site they are about to experience.

This production brings together industry professionals working with ambitious and talented students from Wiltshire College. Chippenham Music Technology students were given a brief to produce the sounds and Salisbury's BA Photography students have generated some images. The production team is spoilt for choice!

We invite you to watch the slide show and listen to the soundscape, judge for yourself which creates the best ambience and gets you thinking about the story of the stones, the landscape and the people. Please make a choice and give us some feedback below.

Three Inspiring Tracks
Adam Yusuf:
A very organic start, kinda like an enhanced 'filmic' atmosphere. I would tend to mix the staccato a little lower on the intro. Really love the choral break, I feel a sense of unison that this place would offer me. A magical and mysterious location that, although I don't know what will happen, I feel safe in the knowledge that just being here is enough. Something will happen as a result of this experience. Time to think is important, this track, coupled with these images offer just that - Very Inspirational Adam -


Jevon Sweeney Patterson:
What I like about this piece is the mix of film score atmosphere intertwined with the tribal feel. The juxtaposition between the birdsong and thunder feels like we're in for an unusual event. The piece is busy and doesn't leave me too much time to think. I like the dialogue samples, but I'm not sure they work here as much as I would have hoped. Maybe not such a heavily processed clip, so it's still indistinguishable, but doesn't sound like a sound bite from the TV. Love the folk twist at the end, I was then projected into the stones. - An inspiring and complex composition that grabs you and takes you on a journey -


Tom Bates:
Love the intro, can visualise a time-lapsed sunrise over the stones, the solstice is approaching, I'm imagining how things used to be. How did they get the stones here, I mean they're HUGE! I know a little history and can visualise the tribes from villages afar, arriving to this sacred place, the feeling is tense, kinda electrically charged. The drums against the soothing analogue sounds are very inspiring. I feel this piece is the most though provoking piece for me - Nice work Tom, would love to hear more -
