Ashley Elsdon: Recordings

Just making tea and enjoying the sound.

Just a regular bus ride

As you can probably tell, I like the sound of markets, and as this one is fairly local I visit reasonably regularly.

A brief visit to this landmark. I enjoyed the noisy general cafe atmosphere with an occasional hint in the background of the choir from the cathedral itself.

Another City Church. However, this time there was a harpsichord player rehearsing in the church, which made a very special sound in that space.

Another very still recording inside a City church. St Michael Cornhill is small but very beautiful, and once again, I was enjoying the peaceful atmosphere there.

Enjoying the peace and stillness in this beautiful building.

On a Friday. Just walking through and enjoying the sound of a busy market at around 11am.

The sounds of the office, with some ping pong at the start.

Another recording here, just wandering through and listening to the voices and sounds of the market.

Happened upon this guy playing sax.

We had a sudden downpour the other day. The rain was so heavy and was rather lovely to hear, so I stopped to record it for a few minutes.

I just liked the sound here so I recorded it but just on my iPhone

The sound from a tiny school at play time. 

I was walking by this busker and had to stop to record him.

Just on the bus

A brief and somewhat quieter walk through Surrey Street Market today, but also with the tram at the end.

Another recording of the atmosphere in the coworking space I use occasionally.

I wanted to record here as they don’t play music so you just hear the ambience of the space. Which I really like.
