Students in Year 9 worked alongside their teacher Martyn Mullender, sound artist Pete Judge and moving image artist Reuben Knutson to create some amazing Sonic Postcards. Using both recorded sounds and video footage of the location, the resulting work is totally unique. A visit to a quarry gave the students the opportunity to make sounds from tuned Portland Stone!
