  • Another Commuter's Eyes (Fulham Broadway)
    Fulham Broadway reimagined by Stuart Bowditch.
    "I worked on this project whilst house sitting a friend's farmhouse in the North Essex countryside, where it is very quiet and there are few disruptions. I'm still struggling with a laptop free creative set up but stuck to my core principle of using only original source sounds to complete the finished piece. The sample was processed using 2 iPad apps (Samplr and Borderlands) and an OP1, with composition and further processing done in Logic. The results ended up being rather scary so I titled the song after the most terrifying thing to be experienced at a train station. "

  • Poor Exit Strategy (Piccadilly Circus)
    Piccadilly Circus reimagined by Anya Trybala.
    'I was making this composition while the Brexit situation was happening, so it builds into quite an intense piece using the Piccadilly Circus recording. I only used the sound recording and no additional instruments - I use Ableton Live to create my music and used multiple layering of samples and many effects that are built in to the software to create 'traditionall' sounding instruments.
    As a Polish descendant, I'm saddened to see so much hostility targeted towards Polish people in Britain straight after the Brexit vote and the general right-wing leanings of so many countries. The world feels incredibly chaotic at the moment."

  • Operatic ghosts in Covent Garden
    Covent Garden reimagined by Rachel Devorah.
    "If the buskers of the covent garden tube station were haunted by the performances of the royal opera house - by the sonic impressions handel and gizziello left on the air above them - what would it sound like?"

  • Lines250716 (four tube stations reimagined)
    Four tube stations reimagined in one piece by Jase Warner.
    "Lines250716 is a soundscape made up of four field recordings taken on Monday 25th July 2016 on the London Underground at separate stations, using my Zoom H2n field mic.
    The four field recordings represent where I have lived in London over the past 5 years to the present day. They are arranged as four movements in the soundscape and are in chronological order: Harrow-on-the-Hill, Shepherd’s Bush, Finsbury Park and Caledonian Road.
    Each movement contains chopped up pieces of the respective field recording. The original recordings document my approach to each station, where I proceed to disembark and make my way to the ticket hall level.
    These chunks of sound represent the mechanics of a machine in transit, while the deconstruction of the field recordings reflects the diffusion of memory."
