Early May 2015 I went to Potton Wood in Cambridgeshire to record the dawn chorus. I used 3 recording devices, 2 directional microphones and a small recorder. This is a short version of events.

This is a recording of a crowded train as it travels to London Kings Cross station.

During the Coronavirus lockdown, I found myself browsing through the many sounds I had recorded in the recent years of train journeys from Cambridge to London. 
They provided, in a strange way, an escape into urban life, now suspended, as we suspend our own lives. 
I wanted to publish these sounds not as sounds to listen to, but rather as background noise for the people who may have lived with it on a daily basis, or for others who wish to discover it. 
This is an extract from a journey from Cambridge to West London. The rest of the sounds are in an 8 track album in my Bandcamp page. https://junodoran.bandcamp.com/album/london-commute
