WHY LONDON SOUND SURVEY?
The everyday sounds of London life are significant, even when they're taken for granted. They tell us about who lives here, what their hopes and conflicts are, how they enjoy themselves and what they believe in. They can take the form of fashions, from singing canaries and windchimes to boomboxes and car horns that played the first eight notes of 'Colonel Bogey'. They are shaped by developments in trade, industry and technology, by the growth of the city itself, and by demographic and social change. They announce shifts in the make-up and scattering of London's wildlife.
Stereo sound recording and playback is the first and still only really practical immersive electronic medium. Listening to a recording of the sounds of a place or event engages the imagination and recreates some of the sense of being there. To share such experiences is a satisfying end in itself.
LICENSING AND CONTRIBUTIONS
IT'D BE GREAT to hear from anyone who'd like to share their recordings with London Sound Survey. If you already have some sound files on the internet, there's no harm in finding an additional home for them here. We have a SoundCloud dropbox, which makes uploading easy. (It also provides a handy holding area while files are checked out.) The upload link appears on the home page as well; the full URL is:

A Creative Commons licence (Attribution-Noncommercial 3.0 Unported) applies to all recordings on the site by default, but they remain your sounds nonetheless. The licence means people can use them for non-commercial purposes, but they must state who made them, under what licence conditions they've been reproduced, and provide a link to the London Sound Survey home page. If you prefer, you can specify a different licence of your own choosing, and do feel free to include any website URLs you'd like to appear alongside your recordings.
