[Nettime-bold] "Your Favourite London Sounds"


			      Announcing
		     YOUR FAVOURITE LONDON SOUNDS
		       compiled by Peter Cusack
		    with photographs by Dave Mandl
		     catalogue number: RESFLS1CD

What is your favourite London sound and why?  The responses of
Londoners to this simple question are as varied and extraordinary as
the city itself.

This fascinating CD reveals the London of the ear, rather than that of
the eye.  A myriad of places and experiences, familiar and obscure,
are brought to life in this striking collection--from Big Ben to bagel
bars, from songbirds to slamming doors, from thunder cutting through
the sky to the eternal uproar of the city's soundscape.

Since 1998 the London Musicians' Collective has asked many
Londoners--including all 74 of London's Members of Parliament--the
question, "What is your favourite London sound--and why?"  The
response has been overwhelming (the MPs returned nine!), with a lot of
interest in the question and plenty of discussion on how to answer it.
Hundreds of favourite sounds have been proposed, often in considerable
detail.  Many have since been recorded by sound-artist Peter Cusack,
taking care to be as faithful as possible to the original suggestions.
The 40 tracks on this audio-postcard are a selection from the hours so
far collected.

YOUR FAVOURITE LONDON SOUNDS contains over an hour of audio material,
plus a full-color 24-page booklet of photographs and information.

For all media and distribution information, please contact the LMC.
