A Sound Map Of Harrogate

About A Sound Map Of Harrogate

“A Sound Map of Harrogate” isn’t just a project; it’s a journey through the auditory landscape of my hometown. By carefully geolocating sounds, I’ve created an immersive experience that allows you to explore Harrogate in a way you’ve never done before – through its very heartbeat. From the murmurs of the farmer’s market to the gentle hum of the evening breeze, every sound is a piece of Harrogate’s intricate puzzle. And I’m inviting you to piece it together.

   First Snow of the Season, 2025

   "A Sound Map of Harrogate" is project to map Harrogate, North Yorkshire through found sound and field recording. Find out more at ⁠www.backhouse.wtf⁠ (https://backhouse.wtf). Recored at 3am, when I should have been asleep. The snow was falling heavily and turning in to a slushy mess as it lay - I am unsure if it will still be there at dawn.

   Mic Drop, Dawn - Mowbray Square

   Part of A Sound Map Of Harrogate. For more details, please see https://asoundmapofharrogate.co.uk - thanks for listening. I left the mic recording as I went for a walk, hidden under a bush. There was quite a bit of editing to remove the air conditioning fans I could hear in the recording from ASDA.
