Will Cohen - Outside the Bank of England

from #StayHomeSounds (volume 2) by Cities and Memory

/

about

Recorded by Will Cohen.

"In the final days before London was shut down in March 2020, I made sound recordings of areas that I care about as a Londoner. From documenting spots that I skated at as a teenager, through to areas I have worked in - I wanted to see what familiar sounds still resonated at this unprecedented time. I used the binaural microphone technique - if you close your eyes and imagine, the physics behind this method of sound capture will immerse you in a 3D stereo environment pictured in the stills that I took on my journey."

"The Bank of England is the city’s financial heart - I had an administrative job here when I left school and spent two months eating sandwiches at this spot, teaming with suits and business chat."
