Sonic bus tour of Poole’s working landscape

Thursday, September 1st, 2011

This was the FINAL Our Working Lives event! A unique, one-off, bus tour of Poole’s working landscape was organised. Where passengers got the chance to travel through time on a 1959 Routemaster bus for a mystery tour to hear a soundtrack of Poole’s working landscape.

The tour took visitors to areas in Poole not usually visited by commercial tour packages. Snaking through Poole’s industrial estates, as well as other interesting features of Poole’s economic landscape. During the tour passengers could hear everyday people talk about their working life, about Poole history and how its infrastructure has developed. Mixed with life today and its possible economic future.

hydrophone recording under pier

Sunday, July 25th, 2010

Bought I new hydrophone, which I tried out, recording on the end of the pier. Not sure what the haunting sound is, possible it is the sound of cars driving off the pier and onto the ferry.
