Charity shop sounds – the parking nightmare of Burford

BurfordVisiting the little Cotswolds town of Burford on a sunny Sunday afternoon, I caught a completely typical charity shop conversation using my mobile phone – the usual stuff about how hard it is to park in the town. It’s a recording that stands out exactly because of its mundanity – thousands of these conversations happen every day all over the world, and it’s that mundanity that I’ve tried to bring out with the remixed version, taking loops of some of the phrases about ‘parking being a nightmare in Burford’ and layering them up to create a nightmarish mashup of the everyday.
