Memory boxes: They record people’s voices and stay “alive” in their families forever

«Memory boxesMade by Isaac Gibsonsound arts researcher, an idea inspired by his grandfather, William Crockardwho lived with him in 2018.

“He always had a story to tell, he could talk for hours,” said the 25-year-old from Annahilt, Northern Ireland. “So, one day I thought of recording him while he was telling his stories. He talked about his family, his siblings, the beatings from school and the time he… borrowed a pony to go for a walk “ remembers, as reported by newsletter.uk.

“When he died, I got these records, I combined them with music and put them in a small wooden box to give to my mother as a gift. He had no idea that I was recording my grandfather when he saw it was excited. So I thought that other families can experience this and remember their loved ones forever. “ Isaac explains how the idea for the “memory boxes” came to him.

He has already created 10 memory boxes for patients at the Marie Curie hostel. “Some patients want to use it to leave some instruction on personal matters, while others want to use it as an opportunity to leave a souvenir that the family can share. My hope for this project is that one day it could be implemented as a service in nursing homes around the worldConcludes Isaac Gibson.
