Lyrical and immersive audio ballad that travels across time.
Kolekto took a deep dive into this archive and emerged with a different way of listening, producing a lyrical and immersive audio ballad that travels across time. This podcast eavesdrops on a host of island voices that are essentially answering the question ‘What does home mean to you?’
Creatives Mark Jenkins and Rebecca Marr trawled BBC Radio Orkney’s back catalogue and Orkney Library & Archive’s hours of reel-to-reel tapes and cassettes to find the richest stories.
Kolekto is a creative partnership based in Orkney, Scotland, providing a bespoke design and delivery service for community heritage and participatory arts projects through audio, photography and film production.
