“Rainbow Echoes” is a series of composed audio vignettes, woven into an audio tapestry of recorded interviews, field recordings, and experimental sound art. They cluster into thematic responses, engineering new and existing dialogues about coronavirus and the lockdown; they call and answer each other, echoing over a thirty-minute duration across the Norfolk Street Arts’ gallery.

​

The composition is intentionally participatory and investigative in nature. Beyond collecting colour, my key investigation involved assembling a feeling of lockdown, and “lessons” which we can learn from the lockdown, both as individuals and society: What emerged chiefly are the clear positive and negative effects lockdown has had on our own mental and physical health, on our work-life balance; but also the strength in collective communities, the need for escapism, the anguish of seeking employment, and a rediscovered ability to recharge and slow down.
