Ian Rawes Presents A Feast Of Sounds & London Knowledge, Current & Historical

The London Sound Survey is a glorious gathering of sounds from the urban hubbub, with streets, waterways, animals, chimes, engines, ambience...

There's all sorts of information and interest here as the recordings announce new technologies and preserve old; signal changing landscapes and demography and track the scatterings of London's wildlife. Ian Rawes' project also encompasses historical references to London sounds such as found in the works of Dickens, Bronte, Orwell and others.

Here Ian plays us some favourites recordings and tells of London facts. Plus - come and be a part of the recording of: 'Audience at Book Festival...'
