This soundscape is comprised of 30 audio portraits of iconic locations surrounding Anish Kapoor's sculpture the ArcelorMittal Orbit. Each of the 40-second audio loop portraits is played at a different position on the 400-step stairwell; as visitors descend from the Orbit's viewing platform, they walk through soundscape evocations of locations such as Columbia Road Flower Market, Theatre Royal Stratford East, Mudchute Farm, Whitechapel Bell Foundry and The Olympic Park's Velodrome. The creation of the audio portraits involved custom recording and careful composition of the most evocative sounds captured at each site. The visitor's imagination is inspired to envision key locations that surround the Orbit. The launch of the soundscape coincided with the opening day of the Orbit as a visitor attraction in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
The Soundscape received a nomination for Audio Installation of the Year in the AV Awards. |

The client says: "We were impressed with Pamela’s creativity and her ability to overcome obstacles. Obtaining access to make the recordings and sourcing some of the archival materials were incredibly challenging. But Pamela always seemed to find a way to get the piece we were after. Following the attraction’s re-opening, we conducted a comprehensive review of visitor feedback. The soundscape Pamela created for us was the most consistently mentioned and praised element of the interpretation by far."
Rachel Kuhn, former Head of Visitor Operations, ArcelorMittal Orbit

ARTS COUNCIL FUNDED VIDEO: The Artist's Experience: 1950s London
Personal Project
Producer / Researcher / Designer / Scriptwriter / Editor
This film brings to life the experiences and cultural milieu of early career artists in London during the 1950s. Archival audio recordings are combined with a layered visual collage of diverse archival materials. The artists whose voices are featured in the film all spent the early years of their careers working in London in the 1950s. The film transports the viewer back in time to explore what the artists' experiences were like.
The film is a prototype that explores how "video collage" techniques can enrich the viewer's experience of and engagement with oral history and other archival content. Visual materials are manipulated to bring to life excerpts from the British Library's Artists' Lives oral history recordings. The visual elements include photographs from the National Portrait Gallery, a broad range of public domain imagery, and clips from the British Council's film archive.
The film was funded by a Developing Your Creative Practice grant from Arts Council England. This grant supports individuals who are cultural and creative practitioners that want to take time to focus on their own creative development.
