In September 2013, Maria Papadomanolaki invited Peter Cusack to take a conversational sound walk inside Liverpool Street Station by taking as a prompt and starting point an excerpt from W.G. Sebald’s novel “Austerlitz”. 

Listening through reading becomes a chain of actions and reactions, of remembering and of memory. Site-specificity here is expanded into a sonic perceptual ecology within and beyond the station through perceptual triggers, bodily motions, conversational arches and auraly ephemeral actions and events. The impersonal becomes topical, detailed and very personal as the flow of time is slowed down to listen, reflect and discuss.

This is a brief stroll through Madrid's quarter of Lavapiés, one of
the noisiest, most-multicultural, and most heavily-gentrified areas of
the city. The soundwalk starts out at Plaza Lavapiés, and progresses
all the way to El Rastro, Madrid's traditional bustling flea
market. The soundwalk attempt to register the multiplicity of noises,
but mainly the voices, languages and manners of speech typical in this part of the city.

James Norton The Crossing

What can a field recording tell us about architecture? 


In 2013 the artist group, OSSO developed Echoes, a program for the city of Lisbon to explore the relationship between LISTENING and PLACE. They organised a broadcast event for the Lisbon Architecture Treinnale on stress.fm. 


I was invited to curate the broadcast program and put out an international call asking people to record their 'local'. The question I asked was: 'What can sound recording tell us about architecture?'


I have sat on this collection of recordings for about ten years and recently stumbled across the folder of audio on my hard drive... recorded before the pandemic, before the current economic and political instabilty. It struck me that listening to this archive is like a window onto another time. Many of the contributors have written saying the places they recorded are longer there or that they have changed in certain ways. What started as an enquirey into the sounds of place, has now become a collection of memories- or at least something different and changed by time.

Huge thanks to Nuno Torres for his support with this project.
