Impressions of Cromer

Saffron Summerfield

With this soundscape I created a jaunty tune as a basic canvas to reflect and bounce the sounds of this joyful seaside town in high summer.

To me, Cromer has a strong ‘sense of place’ which echoes in the local voices I heard and recorded.

The high-pitched sounds of commerce, the shifting tide, a happy fisherman and a general busyness weave below and above the promenade and pier.

The raucous. unmusical calls of black-headed gulls and starlings mingle with the street musician and the metallic clang of slot machines.

A local, soft voice gives a clear appreciation of what the town means to them.
