the sounds of the River Thames

Being on a quest of a small research on new technologies I've been tracking consequently (as usual) recent adventures of Imogen Heap's latest projects: "data gloves" and The Listening Chair. And again, by a very fortunate stroke of luck, I was able to watch live stream from A Room For London where Imogen shared her experience and work with The Listening Chair. She has been working now on her new heapsong trying to depict musically the memories of the River Thames: "a very public area with very private thoughts". I would also have a few. This brought me to a recent discovery: a fantastic database of London sounds: The London Sounds Survey. How about a walk in Richmond? :)
