Hear the city's busy thoroughfares and quieter corners through the ears of musician and recordist Andre Louis. His thoughts on why he records are rendered in braille to form the basis for a new London sound map.
As a child I ran around the house with a cheap tape recorder, spools spinning, capturing anything and everything around me. I no longer have those tapes but I wish I did. Family friends you don't see any more. Family members that have passed away. How you sounded as a child. All gone.
Sighted and blind people too have a tendency to forget people's voices after a while because they don't have recordings to refer back to. But because I've lived with blindness all my life and, because audio is what my life is about, I record all kinds of things and keep them for posterity. Even if I never play them again, I have them.
Andre Louis, London 2014
