KAIWHAKARONGO (Listeners)

A community project in sound

What does our community sound like? Kaiwhakarongo is a creative

project that tells the story of our Kapiti and Horowhenua community

through sound.

A demo and feasibility study of the project has been funded by

Creative Communities Kapiti and created by Janie Walker and sound

designer and composer Janet Holborow. The final project is nearly

ready to go and is a great fundraising tool for community groups.

As humans, we are designed to listen to what is around us; The

shaking of china tea cups at Sunday church; a whakatauki at Te Reo

at the local Kohanga Reo; buying a newspaper at the dairy; the sound

of the waves, the train coming; a speech competition at Paekakariki

primary school; and a community in need.
