You will need to spend some time thinking about good memories in your life, we’ll provide you with questions to reflect on these, you may have more good memories than we can use – hopefully you have lots of good memories!

The memories that you recall will have sounds, our questions encourage you to think about these sounds, as well as how to choose your memory shortlist

Once you’ve completed the questionnaire, it will be submitted to one of our sound artists, there will then be a follow up conversation to explore the answers and the accompanying sounds. This will take around an hour, the artist will explore those sounds which are key to you as well as the memories and stories behind them, these will then form the basis for an artistic re-interpretation of the sounds of your memories

Why don’t we use bad memories? We believe that both creating and listening to your Life Echo should be a positive experience. We don’t believe that that will happen if we pull together the sounds of your bad memories.

Your Life Echo will be thoughtful, bespoke and made only for you.

That’s a tough question to answer, your Life Echo won’t be a harsh sound, it will be melodic but it won’t be music. It will contain sound effects, created and real.

In some ways, a Life Echo is a sound documentary of your memories, just without any images, we hope that the images are stored in your mind and that the Life Echo will help you to reconnect with them.

The sound artist will discuss your positive memories, identifying a final list of five. With each memory, the sound artist will focus on related sounds that are connected to your memories.

Once listed, your memories may be ordered in terms of:

• Age and time period
• Geographic location
• Themes (objects or photos, as appropriate)
• Recalled associated colour and frequency sounds
• Emotional impact that the memory draws up
