Press


  • The Financial Times; print + digital editions – Arts journalist Fiona Sturges remarked; “The series is also full of the sounds of an urban home: a boiling kettle, a teapot being filled, plus birdsong, aircraft passing overhead and voices drifting in from outside. When Adebiyi says of his flat, “There is comfort in the very walls,” the listener can feel it too … the sound design, which interweaves music and the everyday sounds we normally tune out, is truly lovely”.

  • Podcast The Newsletter; website – Podcast marketing consultant Lauren Passell wrote that “Ivan d'Avoine and Derick Armah ask people to describe what they see when they look out their windows. The challenge was to create something using sonic imagery that is as evocative as the image you see from your eye … This simple challenge brings up memories and lofty thoughts alongside tiny, mundane observations. I could not not [sic] close my eyes listening … Maybe sharing what’s outside your window is a special kind of communication”.  Read here.

  • The Camden New Journal; print edition – The local paper’s ‘John Gulliver’ wrote; “For decades I lived in a top floor flat in Camden, and I remember enjoying looking out of my window at the tiny ant people making their way up and down the street below. I was struck by how very few of them looked up ... The podcast is interspersed with sounds of the railway and more unusual noises that probably only the residents of Camden Town will recognise”. 24th April 2025.
