After my meeting with David, he advised me that my tutor for this project would be Dylan. I met with Dylan on the 1st February and we set an outline of what I would need to record in both London and Lincoln. Dylan suggested that I should record some landmarks in both the cities.

I started by writing down some of the ‘must haves’ in my soundscape from both London and Lincoln. Most of the stuff in London would be landmarks, such as big ben and St Paul’s Cathedral but as well as this, there would be some more personal sound bites, such as a soundbite from fans of West Ham United –  the team I supported – as well as this I would also record the tube sounds of the tube station of where I lived. In Lincoln, there would be more generic recordings in place, because this is how I felt about Lincoln, I did not feel any personal affiliation with the city, so the soundbites would be the train lines, some swans, and the Cathedral. As well as these geographical landmarks, I would also record the hustle and bustle of the cities, because as you can imagine, one would be a lot different to the other, and I enjoyed the idea of the slower paced Lincoln life intertwining with the fast-paced London life throughout the soundscape.
