Visual Noise - Live Event

Thursday 9th April 2026

 Visual Noise was our project run as part of our Positive Sounds music development work. It was a collaboration between local photographers and musicians of all ages and backgrounds: our photographers captured a series of images (many taken right here in Carrick), and our musicians composed original pieces inspired by them.

To conclude the exhibtion of the photographs, we held a live music event showcasing the songs that accompanied the photos. Each musician performed their song and we had a brief conversation about their usual writing processes in comparison to this one!

It was lovely to see the musicians meeting the photographers who’s work inspired their songs and experience the warmth and sense of community in a room full of creative people. 

The exhibition was run in partnership with Carrickfergus Museum and the project was funded by Clanmil Housing.
