Prison Songs – launching today!

Our latest project Prison Songs launches today – and there have been some really amazing entries.

Prison Songs examines the lives of the prisoners of the Mississippi State Penitentiary in the late 1940s, by reimagining the work songs recorded there.

30 sound artists from as far afield as Brazil, Turkey, Australia and the USA bring their own lives and experiences to bear on reimagining these songs, which stand as a vital document of the hope and determination of men living in desperate conditions.
