about

A collection of field-recording sketches captured at Summerhill School, a pioneering educational community founded by educationalist A.S.Neill and located in rural Suffolk, UK. Summerhill is founded on principles of children's rights, freedom not licence, play and self-government.

Recorded across October and November, 2015, these sketches have found quiet corners and acoustic habitats often obscured to the public by the loud, passionate debates that make up an integral part of the school's identity. These debates and conversations in themselves often offer little insight into the real experiences of individual members of the school community, both past and present. These recordings offer something of that insight, being recorded by one member of that community, although it was not consciously intended this way.
