Sinopsis
I've been taking field recordings for years, and decided that I want to make them available to anyone who was interested in listening. For the most part this podcast will be made up of recordings I've made that I've enjoyed of found interesting. Occasionally there will be a some music too. I hope you enjoy it.

Sounds by the river
08/02/2023 Duración: 03minI made this recording by the Thames, kind of halfway between London Bridge and Cannon Street. It was a bright day and there were people around and tourist boats coming down the river and building work going on. It was recorded on an Apple Watch.

Making coffee quite slowly
21/01/2023 Duración: 18minI got this new espresso maker at Christmas and I've been meaning to try it out for a while now. Today was the day and I decided to record the sound of it, or, to be more precise, the entire process. The very loud sound at the beginning is me grinding the beans.

Torrential Rain
12/01/2023 Duración: 05minI recorded this yesterday during what can only be described as a torrential downpour. Which was lovely to hear and even better not to be in it.

Noisy game
02/01/2023 Duración: 03minBoxing day always seems to be a time for playing games. This was a particularly noisy game called 'pit' and as members of my family were playing it I thought I would record them all shouting.

The mice on the mouse organ
01/01/2023 Duración: 22sIf you can remember Bagpuss the cartoon you will probably remember the mice on the mouse organ. This is their song which I recorded from a Bagpuss toy.

A hand towel dispenser
12/12/2022 Duración: 19sI was out for dinner and used the bathroom in the pub we were eating in. The hand towel dispenser made an interesting noise, so I recorded myself using it. This is very short, but I hope you like it.

You are caller number ...
24/10/2022This is a very short recording I took whilst waiting to speak to my local GP practice, and I'd been on the line for a while before I recorded this.

Creaky door
26/09/2022 Duración: 40sI heard this during a phone call and asked for a recording of it. I really like how creaky it is.
-
Loud in London
16/09/2022 Duración: 02minI recorded this on Monday in the City. The area felt a lot louder than normal for some reason. It is mostly traffic noise, and I have no idea why it was busier and more noisy than I am used to on that day.

The sound of a squeaky lift
01/09/2022 Duración: 14sThis is a very short recording from a hotel lift in Edinburgh. Every time I pressed the button for the floor I wanted it made this sound. A bit like a squeaky toy. I found it hilarious so I had to record it.

The Ferry from Craignure to Oban
31/08/2022 Duración: 02minWe took this ferry back from Craignure to Oban I made a recording of the safety warning, which was quite extensive.
-
The Edinburgh Tram
30/08/2022 Duración: 08minThe tram from Edinburgh airport to the city centre is an excellent service, and, more than that, it has some lovely noises too. If you listen carefully you can hear a discussion about the smell of muck spreading very early in the recording, and it was very pungent I can tell you.

Drumming in Edinburgh
29/08/2022 Duración: 02minI was at the Edinburgh Fringe, and, whilst it felt like a smaller festival than it has been in the past, there were still many of the usual features, such as people performing on the street. Either to promote a show, or just to perform. In this case these performers were promoting a show I think. They were very good.

The souls of departed commuters screaming
03/08/2022 Duración: 02minOk, the title of this recording is a little misleading. This is the sound of the tube from Stockwell to St Pancras. The person I was travelling with asked why the tube made this horrible wailing sound, and I replied 'It's the sound of dead commuters screaming'. It was kind of off the cuff, but the sound does make me think of wailing souls.

Children playing football
02/08/2022 Duración: 59sI had a few moments and took a walk around a small park in London, listening to the sounds of people, dogs etc. As I was walking there was a bunch of children playing football. I think it was organised, at least as much as that gets. But it was a pleasant sound, so pushed record on my watch. I hope you enjoy it, even though it is brief.

A bit more brass band
15/07/2022 Duración: 01minSome more of the brass band at Sanderstead Horticultural show

The sound of Sanderstead Horticultural Show
14/07/2022 Duración: 01minThis is a recording of just the general ambience from the show.
-
A brass band at the Sanderstead Horticultural show
13/07/2022 Duración: 05minA brass band at the Sanderstead Horticultural show. This local event has been postponed for a couple of years for obvious reasons, so it was great to see it return.

And here is the actual choir
26/06/2022 Duración: 02minIf you listened to the previous recording this will make sense. This is the choir I could hear from inside the pharmacy. They were singing for a charity, but I couldn't tell you which one sadly. They were quite good.
