Description
Travel back in time to experience London as heard by Chaucer, Dickens and Shakespeare in a ground-breaking work that puts back the sounds the City has lost.
As part of Open House weekend, time-travel from medieval to present day London through an immersive sound experience that captures the changing sounds of the City. Composed by Iain Chambers, live performances from musicians through loudspeakers will tell the story of the Square Mile, revealing the impact of its changing built and social environment. Hear noises now lost to the City, from animal grunts to street vendors’ cries.
Part of the House of Sound, the Sonic Trail will see ‘Mythophones’ – sculptural speakers – placed around Cheapside for listeners to connect to the locations and their previous incarnations
10am – 6pm daily (live performances will take place hourly from 12 noon to 5pm on Saturday 16 September and from 11am to 4pm on Sunday 17 September)
