Sounds of UCL: Inside Jeremy Bentham's booth by UCL

Recordist: Daniel Kordik

In this recording, I placed my microphones inside the booth where Jeremy Bentham is kept, trying to capture what he might be hearing now - his current sound universe. There is a glass barrier protecting the Jeremy Bentham auto-icon, therefore the sounds are not as transparent and clear, but slightly muffled instead. This “cut off” in the high frequencies range is underlining “the age” of Jeremy Bentham and his historical impact on UCL, especially as growing old means loosing the higher frequencies spectrum when listening.
