In March 2025 we made a series of recordings in and around the Barbican Centre, with the idea of those sounds being folded back into the Observatory Station sound installation, so that the sounds of the Barbican itself become part of the stories being told by sound from around the world. 

This recording is a walkthrough of some of the exterior concrete tunnels and walkways that make up this brutalist masterpiece - footsteps, various mysterious drones, and the sounds of assorted passers-by. 

Recorded by Cities and Memory.
