Audio Installation Leceister Square Gardens
9.00am 7.00pm each day

SoundLife London is a unique 3-D sound composition. It has been created especially for Leicester Square Gardens to reveal the three-dimensional sound world that surrounds us at all times, in the most fascinating and diverse city in the world.

The composition will consist of an hour long, looped ‘soundscape’ which will inhabit the entire space of the Leicester Square gardens over a 10-day period at times manifested as a sort of ghostly activity moving and tracking visitors around the space, at others a subtle and ambient musical composition.

Leicester Square’s central city location and demographic provides a unique opportunity for the creators of SoundLife London to work with local residents, to include sounds that reflect the makeup of the community and improve awareness of Westminster’s diverse cultures. The audio clips for SoundLife London have been collected through an outreach and education programme called Sounds of the City consisting of workshops with several Westminster community groups. Participating Westminster community groups include TBarrow Hill Junior School, St John’s Wood; College Park School, Westbourne Green; Digital Media Unit, Bayswater; Ebury Bridge Youth Centre, Victoria; Open Age Hub, Victoria; Queens Park Play Group, Queens Park and St Marylebone C of E School, Marylebone
