As I should have said before posting the 'London sound survey' link, my partner and I have decided to set our three minute 'atmos' track in the Sheffield train station. We plan to create a piece that can be recognised as a journey through the space, starting as you enter through the sliding doors into the main atrium and ending on the platform edge about to board a train, or on board and as the train pulls away. Due to this narrative we anticipate the piece staring out quite bleak and quiet, then as we move further in to the station, more and more layers being added, resulting in the end becoming quite busy and cluttered. We plan to create the narrative thread through the use of foot steps, voice overs or platform announcements, we are hoping these elements will be adequate to suggest a character either rushing for a train or simply moving through the space.
Below are some picture of the space we will be trying to represent;

These pictures alone gives an indication to what the finished piece will sound like, the space in which we aim to represent is large and open, suggesting a lot of echoes and it will be relatively busy at all times, suggesting quite a busy atmosphere. One part of the station that you can't see within these pictures are the two cafe's, being quite dominant in the station we plan to make use of them also.
On the platform its self you find all that you expect to find, lots of people, tannoys, staff members, pigeons and most obviously, trains. We hope that all these elements will find a space to occur within the three minuet piece.
