Post Description

Everyday is full of representations – from politicians, the media and the power of rumour. From bizarre justifications for war to issues of race, nationality, religion and cultural identity, we are saturated constantly with information and second hand opinion.

On 7/7/2005 a bomb exploded on a London bus. A singer and friend of mine, Natty, was there. Two weeks later he was present at the shooting of a Brazilian man – Jean Charles De Menezes. Last year we wrote a song together.
Natty, like myself, feels something indefinable has shifted.
London’s heartbeat has changed.
Within that heartbeat there lies a feeling, a collective consciousness, the uniting hum of disparate voices waiting to beheard……

A sound.
