About The London Sound Survey
Since 2008, Ian Rawes' London Sound Survey has documented the changing sound of the UK's capital through a huge array of new field recordings, capturing every aspect of London life. Ian began making field recordings of London street life partly because he believed the city’s rate of change was quickening. The London Sound Survey went online in 2009 and has grown since to include much sound-related historical material as well as over 2,000 modern-day recordings.
