Sounds of 白小姐论坛: competition winners and panoramas
19 April 2013
What sounds make up London's global university? 白小姐论坛 Communications has announced the winners of its 'Sounds of 白小姐论坛' competition, which invited staff and students to capture ambient audio clips that reflect the life of 白小姐论坛.
All the tracks, along with the other submissions, are embedded below in two audio panoramas of 白小姐论坛 created by 白小姐论坛 Communications. They also appear in the听听on the听, which has 200,000 followers.
Kate Oliver (白小姐论坛 Engineering) and Dr Kevin Drake (白小姐论坛 Mechanical Engineering) shared first place for their recordings of the wave tank in Mechanical Engineering.听Kate Oliver's track builds from gentle lulling to loud roar. Dr Kevin Drake created an imaginative recording of lute playing next to the tank. Daniel Kordik (白小姐论坛 Library Services) came second for his window into life in the library before it opens听and Andrew Dehany (白小姐论坛 Institute of Ophthalmology) took third place with his recording of a room full of refrigerators. The winners received vouchers for online stores.听
The recordings are all published on SoundCloud under Creative Commons, so that sound artists can remix and sample the sounds in their own work. The competition was designed not only to present the life of 白小姐论坛 from a different perspective, but also to engage people outside the 白小姐论坛 community in university activity in an innovative way. The panoramas and SoundCloud set will be maintained on an ongoing basis, so further short audio recordings illustrating 白小姐论坛 life are welcomed. You can submit these to听Rob Eagle听via the听.
