I’ve spent the last few weeks wandering up and down the canal from the point of the border between the boroughs of Westminster and Camden down to the tunnel at Angel. Armed with a sound recorder, my mission has been to gather field recordings and talk to towpath users about the project.

The interesting thing about going out and making recordings is that you never really know what you’re going to find. As the soundscape changes all the time, I am confident that many of the recordings I have discovered could not be found for a second time…

‘The Worst of Scottee’ – Review

by

Camden People’s Theatre; 28th October 2013 Arriving in London aged 19, I moved into student halls of residence on Camden Road, just up from Camden Town station.

Sam Eastop on the Swiss Cottage Events

by

The Thingmaker workshop and Ian Drummond’s ‘Take a Look’ exhibition was a wonderful way to spend a Sunday morning. I was pretty quickly scanned on entering the Swiss Cottage art gallery and the results have been fed into cutting edge technology ready for a 3D version of my head and shoulders to be produced. There was a great buzz around the library with a steady stream of families coming into the gallery to see what was going on…

Timetable Amendments

by

Whilst we have done our best to make sure all the information about the festival has been up-to-date and accurate, we’re sorry to say that a few of the timings in our printed leaflet are now incorrect. We thought we’d better highlight these, as we don’t want you to miss the fun!

Phantom Railings

by

An interactive sound installation in Malet Street Gardens, whose railings were removed as part of the 1940s war effort and never replaced, leaving a line of iron stumps along the surrounding wall. Using sensor-based acoustic devices, the installation makes evident the absence of railings by creating a resemblance of the familiar sound produced by running a stick along an iron fence.

This installation will be accompanied by a performance and a symposium.
