Sense of space

While researching for my own recording, i stumbled across the website 'London sound survey'. It has a huge number of sound maps of locations all over London, as well as 'sound actions' of everyday noises, in their words, "Sound action recordings are of sounds designed to have an effect on others, including situations where many people make sounds together for some common goal. Often they're of voices, but they also include sirens, bells, fireworks and more." In the case of this website, the sounds include anything from a street seller flogging in Wembley, to a platform announcer on the Underground. These many sound maps and actions havbe helped inspire my project by showing my whats possible in the way of recording in train stations, or in this case the Underground. It has also given my an idea of what other sounds we're likely to pick up while trying to record specific things, such as foot steps, voices, announcements and the general 'buzz' of any busy space.
