Ernő Goldfinger – audio style


Here are four beautifully made radio programmes/soundscapes by James Torrance on Ernő Goldfinger. Under the title Homes of Tomorrow, Torrance has organised his thoughts and material on Ernő into four sections: Landscape; Home; Community; Legacy. He's interviewed all sorts of interesting people, from residents through to experts on Goldfinger, his buildings and brutalism.  And it's not just the voices and the points of view that give the pieces such a great range of texture – it's the strange, ghostly treatment of the audio, with the swirling and booming and glowering soundscape sitting behind the voices, giving it such personality.

I've really enjoyed listening to these, and they definitely deserve a wider listenership. Give them a go, go on!
