A day in the life of Wester Hailes through the eyes and ears of local residents, Incredible Distance is a collaborative arts project for adults that forms part of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra’s three-year Wester Hailes Residency.
Through a series of workshops with community music leader Emma Smith, participants created an original audio-visual installation which explores the sonic and visual identity of Wester Hailes.
Woven into an intricate tapestry of sound and imagery by composer Suzanne Parry and artist Ewan John, the result is part tone poem, part dreamscape, which loosely reflects 24 hours in the life of Wester Hailes.
