*Second place winner of the Sounds of UCL competition*
This recording is capturing the sounds of the passing shelving trolley and the trolley used by the Library Porter when distributing an internal post within the UCL Libraries. The location is the Flaxman Gallery, Main Library Building. This recording was made by using 4 microphones placed along “St. Michael Overcoming Satan” statue, to emphasize the Flaxman Gallery spacious and circular character. It was done early Monday morning when the Library is closed for public. The only human inhabitants of this space are shelvers, Library porter and UCL cleaners.
