Two pilgrimages in one.

In August 2007, after many months of anticipation, I went to collect a newly hammered Hang from the Panart workshop in Bern. There I also met a rapper called Nacho from Spain, and we jammed together.

On the way to Bern I stopped off in London to visit my brother, and we went together to enjoy the acoustics inside Greenwich Foot Tunnel.

This had been a dream of mine ever since hearing about the tunnel from our grandpa, who used to describe 'throwing his voice' in it as he cycled through on his way to work as a piano tuner.

At this time I was enjoying experimenting with my first portable recorder - a Zoom H4. I'm uploading it in 2021 as a souvenir of that time.

Greenwich to the Hangbauhaus (2007)

Some sounds found in Baku, Azerbaijan, and Sheki, northern Azerbaijan, and between, during March 2009.

Baku To Sheki

Some sounds found in Moscow and St. Petersburg, and between, during two winters.

Moscow To St. Petersburg

Sounds found in Lagos, at Afi Mountain Drill Sanctuary, and at Kakara Highland Tea Estate, Nigeria, 2009.  You can hear three kinds of ape:  drills, chimps, and humans.  Get a cup of tea - it's almost 12 minutes - and, as always, use headphones.

Lagos To The Mountains

Made for Iman and the other kids and families at the Yusra centre, Istanbul.
