What is SONCITIES?  

SONCITIES is a research project exploring how people living in London experience sound in their everyday lives. It is based at Oxford University. This event will give you a taster of the work we’re doing and introduce you to field recording. If you find it interesting and would like to get involved in the research, you can find out more on the day.
