This sound walk explores the evolving relationship between nature and industry in St. Pancras Basin and its surroundings, where human intervention and organic regeneration continuously reshape the environment. Through two interwoven sound pieces—A Moss and Metal Duet and Echoes of Origin—we invite you to experience the layered sonic histories of where you stand, from its industrial past to its contemporary landscape. As you listen, consider how the remnants of industry coexist with the living, regenerating world around them—how the traces of human production persist, adapt, and ultimately merge with non-human life. A Moss and Metal Duet Serving as a sonic exploration of the elemental forces present within St. Pancras Basin, this piece acts in tangible and speculative ways to listen and learn from the conversations between moss and metal, highlighting the contrast between the organic and inorganic—the naturally regenerative and the human-imposed. Moss, a naturally self-sustaining life form, produces its soft but active “popcorn-ing” sound simply by existing—consuming water, absorbing carbon dioxide, and filtering toxins from its environment. Metal, by contrast, remains silent until acted upon, requiring human interaction to produce sound. It stands as a marker of the industrial presence that has shaped this landscape from the Industrial Revolution to the present day, a lasting reminder of human intervention. Now, metal remains within the site, shifting from an instrument of industry to a structure that coexists with the organic world. Echoes of Origin Extending on this exploration, Echoes of Origin traces broader human intervention surrounding the site through historically-tied sounds. This piece guides you through the rhythm of steam trains and their turning wheels, to the clatter of loading coal and the unloading of grains at what once was a granary. These historical echoes are set against the persistent pulse of contemporary life at Central Saint Martins—where the mechanical voice of the campus gate machine, the hum of sewing machines, and the buzz of electric irons add new sonic textures to the site’s ongoing transformation. By immersing you in these interwoven soundscapes, we hope to reveal the shifting balance between human industry and organic resilience. We invite you to deepen your connection with your surroundings, exploring and reimagining the often-overlooked interactions between human interception and the non-human, but living, world.

Nestled within a small grove in the English Gardens the artwork offers an intimate space for listening, a space that invites us to ground ourselves in our bodies yet remain receptive and perceptive to the world around us. Listening is an act of attention and giving attention is essential to our undulating coexistence.

UAL Collaborative Sound Project: Red Group (Marc) Making the invisible visible and uncovering the hidden history of Kings Cross through its sounds

Please listen to the following echoes with headphones. In order to access without locating the sites, please turn off autoplay. This soundscape weaves together a series of site-specific histories - from the coal and ice trade industries of the 18th Century, to the 1878 Beaconsfield Buildings, and present day. Using sound as a means of excavation, we aim to uproot these histories that run below our feet. It opens at the border of our assigned area, with the ghostly echoes of the Beaconsfield Buildings, which is now home to a space-age playground, part of Bingfield Park. As a space that heavily evolved with its community, this sound piece emphasises the power we hold to shift a place's identity. We then take you on a journey through the apex of the trade industry in the 18th Century. We give you this time to listen to the murmurations heard at the intersection of the ice trade market and thriving economy of this time. Just over 100 years later, London experiences its worst ever recorded tube fire at King’s Cross Station during the climax of 1990s rave culture. As we dive into this inferno, we ask you to consider the change that undergoes in the face of time. We return you to the sound of silence in the wake of destruction to ask you to consider where we stand in this present moment as we hear the echoes of our past.
