"Field recordings by one of Britain's leading electro-acoustic artists that comprise an astounding audio portrait of London. Taken as a whole the favourite sounds reveal a fascinating perspective on London -- that of the ear. It is quite different from that of the eye. London's soundscape is regularly described as general urban noise, loud, undifferentiated and not usually pleasant. The amazing variety suggested here shows otherwise. Sounds range from the extremely loud to the very quiet, from the natural to the digital electronic. There are those found under, at or above ground level, indoor and out. Some are deeply personal and others all-encompassing atmospheres. They clearly distinguish between season and time of day and take London's unpredictable weather very much into account. No two suggestions are exactly identical. London's sounds are appreciated with a surprising degree of detail which obviously relates closely to individual lives. The tiniest sound differences can become significant if they are within the pattern of someone's daily life. It is also good to be reminded that, even with the ever increasing levels of background noise in urban areas, we can still be sensitive to the smallest and most local sounds of everyday London life."
