[00:00:12] Because she was she was a journalist, but a lot of people think she was an architect, but she was really a kind of polymath. So she wrote the death and life of. It is OK, but that's the kind of change change and you can go and change school anywhere in the world, although she was American and she ended up in Canada and she thought Robert Moses was a great motivator and he liked to build his roads through books because he was the obvious place. It was open space, you know, needed to build.

[00:00:53] So she she stopped doing that, I didn't hear the noise or something like that. A children's book based on.

[00:01:16] And it's a bit strange picture, she's she's really it comes close to so.

[00:01:42] So we tried to capture some of that sound and in various ways, some of the sounds will speak to different. Some will be of interest and some won't be of great interest, but they will be equally valid. So, you know, the sounds of this neighborhood, the sounds of.

[00:02:06] What makes this place to go wrong, etc., so I'm a little bit Kulikov.

[00:02:15] The technology, so you have.

[00:02:23] Slightly different tests are expected to continue through the next best.

[00:03:00] So she's not even living in this country, so and various reasons behind. So that's really the first.

[00:03:33] And they are just not to the point of social housing.

[00:03:37] It was also about who should live in social housing, looking at that and actually stayed in Sheffield. So bear with me. Oh, by the way, about an hour walk around the street, but we weren't really kind of, um, when we talk, we'll be in the areas so we could feel the state now.

[00:04:06] And we're going to talk about polls. We could feel the state then. It's kind of like invasion of privacy to a certain extent. So I'd rather talk here and we can walk through the polls.

[00:04:20] And then the next time you stop being a communist and this threatening people, if they see that we've got great things to. Can we go study the people in that house over there? So. So we might be standing or a while just to sit on the news that Mr..

[00:04:57] So, listen, it is a bit of an effort as well, because people do get distracted for Capo's by you tend to follow it with your eyes, but the car is part of the thing. Last year when we shot this, we had quite a lot of people and we had somebody who actually did a listening exercise. And so I thought I would play this waterfall and just get the listening frame of mind.

[00:05:36] It is going to. It's ridiculous when it's. So.

[00:06:28] So I used to live in this.

[00:06:39] And think of it, this my dad used to edit for you, but I doubt you have got very close to the presses.

[00:06:46] This is this is the segment for my show for broadcast. Um.

[00:06:53] Yes, you will recognize the voice like device being replaced, over a million households are on council waiting lists across what can be done. This was the right approach. It's never been easy. Back in July 1992, the government passed the Housing and Planning Act, promising to build half a million new council homes for those returning from the First World War. That building was the Addison. And after that, the Minister of Health, Christopher Addison, made social housing a national responsibility to provide local government funds to replace slums with the states.

[00:07:26] It was ambitious, although the slump of the 1920s and we're actually buying.

[00:07:34] But current policy for there was.

[00:07:47] Flower and estates on the edge of Sheffield is a city with vast numbers of council houses and living in this one, No. 80 hour long term council tenants, John and Mary Jo.

[00:08:09] This is not my castle. Is 53 years in his house, 63 years in this house. So you like just getting used to it?

[00:08:19] Yes, it was a timeless experience in the battle and extended the sand in the kitchen.

[00:08:26] It was a big change for me because I lived the power springs from the. But not everybody had to go out while somebody's up to to. So I'm was like, yes, it was a big change. Sorry I touched it. Yeah.

[00:08:43] So I'm going to move on to the next recording, but I'm just going to comment that when Betty arrived, I was talking to Merrily Merrily, actually she was going to the movies to choose from year to year.

[00:08:57] So sorry, really just a tiny bit short.

[00:09:01] The next slide in housing to the skyline. Homes Fit for Heroes was the matter with Susan.

[00:09:17] Is a back to back houses are being cleared away to create a completely new landscape. It's a gesture of faith in the city's future and it's a gesture of faith.

[00:09:26] Its residents still value lifted a little like burn down the next street. Leslie Pearson runs the state's family support center.

[00:09:35] Some danger? A little too much, but I wouldn't say it's any different from anyone else. Why? People seem to think that we're going to. Well, just like a chapel. And that part is all that, you know. Where does that come from? The media, other documentaries or programs like Shameless.

[00:10:03] The next recording is a bit of fun, really, and it's one of the residents from the stage talking about the sound of the house.

[00:10:19] This is the Earth Notes podcast, 15 September 2019.

[00:10:25] I'm making Ransome's and my radiator's and temperature data visualization is a way of displaying boring blocks of numbers in the form what we can latch on to and understand easily. We have millions of years worth of pattern recognition that is Ilke built into our brains by evolution.

[00:10:44] I started to Supercomputing Trade magazine many moons ago and Visualisations was a big deal appealing to it's no use spending millions on your experiments and number crunching if you can't actually get the results in your head or anyone else's. Sometimes we use visualization to make a pretty image such as a graph. Sometimes we can use other senses such as touch or taste of vibration. Sometimes we can make sounds instead. What happens if I speed up data from my house to listen to a year's worth of readings in a second?

[00:11:20] That speeds up. The daily cycle happened 365 times in a second or 365 hertz.

[00:11:28] That's between you and I and one since reading about every 12 minutes in each soundtrack that I create.

[00:11:38] If we listen to look at temperature might talking military, we might expect not only to hear a daily cycle, but also a weekly cycle in many homes, an annual cycle cycles driven by the seasons, other fainter or messier singles. Maybe they're for Western and other calendar months, maybe even something from them regularly. The cycles we can look for these mathematically with no country called for analysis, but hearing that will seem quite possible.

[00:12:10] I spent a few hours messing around and have some interesting initial results. Nothing shocking, but you can hear the difference between insight that sometimes and be. Here is the sound of temperatures at my desk in the month of August, just gone, the heating wasn't home and temperatures changed, especially what we were way at the end of the month.

[00:12:37] It's a fraction of a second, but there is a tone there. Now here's the whole 2018 temperatures from outside as captured by the sensor in our porch. The porch is below the window in my room, Pybus the sensors a few meters away from each other. Still a relatively short time. And finally for today, the sound of my room five as temperatures for 2018, the blessing at the beginning and end of the year, the heating and Rusbuldt working to keep the rooms only heated when someone is active in that. So with much faster temperature movements than the basic daily cycle, you can hear the effect of heating.

[00:13:27] There's more on my sweaty side and not all talk.

[00:13:31] You can say you didn't expect. No.

[00:13:37] And that's when the idea slipped, because the actual object is about how time has passed this House and to produce energy basically.

[00:13:53] So let's listen to the candidates to lots of me. I'm sorry just to say.

[00:13:59] Oh, OK, so each one is two minutes. OK, so when if you feel that if you just carry on, it's too long, you just carry on. It's only two minutes.

[00:14:12] I was asked, you have solar panels alongside your fence, I would like to know more about the considerations you made for this and whether you need a separate inverter.

[00:14:23] The solar panels that I have on the roof, the power into the mains, which is great for powering gadgets and appliances during the day. I recently added a battery that holds on to some of that solar juice we don't need during the day to run lights and TV and fridge and so on overnight.

[00:14:41] But there are some things that I'd prefer not to take power lines for a tool. And until I bought the new mains battery, I would have had no way of powering those things overnight with the mains that I have a completely separate off grid system with open panels and battery and battery controller rather than the inverter from that. I can have some small lights, the service, my website, my laptop and other bits and pieces. The big panels on the fence that you asked me about, a part of the operating system, one for each of those panels is the main point due south ones, my roof point east and west.

[00:15:23] But the combination makes it easier to soak up sunlight all day long, especially in winter. Those panels also act as had the privacy screening, since what they are on is rather low. The big panels were an experiment to see if I could make a significant difference to the total solar energy that I collect in the middle of winter.

[00:15:45] And so far, the answer is not really that I'm continuing to trolly. When the panels are getting lots of solar growing day, my system automatically transfers a couple of gadgets such as my Internet router from being mains powered to the off grid system. Sometimes those gadgets can stay off grid all night, too. There's lots more on my Ursinus website at Earth dot org dot UK about all of this.

[00:16:15] Well, um, I wish I'd bought my little couch, my grandson bought me this little black solar panel, that thing like that with holes in it, and you float it on a bucket of water. And when the sun shines, a little spray comes out like a miniature fountain and snakes children because they can cast their shadow on it and it goes down and then they stand back to man.

[00:16:41] So before we leave Damon's household, just one more to play. Oh, goodness. But this is this is the house parks.

[00:16:49] And on the street, there's a colony of about 150 house birds and about 30 of which sit on my windowsill pecking at something at times and on the ground pecking. Yeah. Just so time. I'm just sitting and I sit there and I hear them go, you know, that's not keeping a. Knowing that, it's really interesting. And then they see me and fly away in the.

[00:17:17] So this is the state with the Spurs hanging around in that exact thing by the front door, but.

[00:18:18] It's a lovely and beautiful sound that makes so much difference here just in north Queensland. Anyone that's got a or Hej in the front makes a big difference.

[00:18:30] Yeah, but for years I didn't hear them. So when I was a kid in Yorkshire, I distinctly remember we had underneath my bedroom window, we had one side, we had a head just swimming and they used to squabble and swarm, maybe 60, chased one around. And I didn't basically aspires for years and years and years. And then suddenly they reappeared. I mean, when you took that recording was two or three years ago. Right.

[00:18:52] The nineteen.

[00:18:53] Was it the record year last year? This is my recently. All right. But not much before then. So they were back.

[00:18:59] I have got some 2000 to climb along as we did. OK, but they idea. Yes, it's a lovely sound. It's joyful.

[00:19:08] It's absolutely scope. Well, actually, that's leaving squabbling. But when they're squabbling, it's also quite fun.

[00:19:13] And I sometimes stand under the bushes for the cemetery, which I regret at overhangs the pavement and just watch the droppings coming up of these little white droppings, the one we've been standing here.

[00:19:26] We've had a load of the sounds as well, and particularly jackdaws under the very local noise, very local noise.

[00:19:36] And there's a mixture of ordinary crows and jackdaws, parakeets as well.

[00:19:42] But it's all sound, but it's all neighbourhood. And so this there's another noise in here. This I took this from the gate. So it's actually it's actually the cemetery, you see, if you can guess what the other animals are doing.

[00:20:22] Oh, come on, nature boy, this competition from the real world.

[00:20:31] Yes, that's tricky. I thought I had a squirrel in there. Maybe, maybe not that one.

[00:20:39] I have no idea what that is. Hi, John.

[00:20:46] Yes, I know someone's taking it away, unfortunately, stolen.

[00:20:54] Well, I know it's insulting. I'm sorry. You say you come through Sabrina's or child bank triggered something happened to 19 year old folks.

[00:21:09] There was a couple of Schuckert about to be being there as well.

[00:21:15] Yeah, but that wasn't talking. That was a different cause. It was a young for it. Yes. And yes. Not bad. Well done. Yes. Yeah. I sometimes bark back at the box and go away because they come and play and I may make a terrible noise on bark back at them until I go away. I kind of make the dog in the house next time I go away. If you hire me, I'll come and bark. Right. So.

[00:21:43] You know, I'm going to talk about Palsson trees because they're quite important features of the state. There's about 10 pounds alleyways that also created some traffic, but we refer to them as Twitter or Twitter. Yeah, they're all twins in London, Ballout and Teutons recognized the protected by the council. They listed them in Nelson and the court last year, but they use Twitter, use Facebook, Twitter and all the part of a design called Radburn Blackburn Lawyers.

[00:22:36] And they all from America from 1966 states. So part of the landscaping, part of the ethos about what people should have, what they're entitled to as visitors, you know, um, so to be separate from traffic to meet each other. But in, you know, who lives on your estate, this is the street in the sky business. So that happens every year. Course we have everything here so that the lines cars separated from traffic and the streets in the sky. So you can always use your estate with you. But in Britain, they didn't necessarily always get translated properly. So, for example, the phone lines over, you know, both sides of the chemical clock and it wasn't meant to happen. You meant to have them back on the front of your house with the back. But luckily, Galaga not to have in communality the back. So but we still had crews otherwise. And there's actually eight hundred ninety meters, which is nearly a kilometre footpaths, which you're all going to go under the footpaths that there will be and provided absolutely no use to most people. They will go, um, in parallel lines for Vincent Road. But at the moment we can we can move down this one, which I frequently do, this one over there, which is, um, and like a little south and east west, the lack of grid on the main East-West spine is 200 metres long.

[00:24:39] So that's a hell of a lot of people to lose. The other thing is a lot of these poles come up on a hill right down the back of the garden and people at the UN peacekeepers, whatever, close to the fence you must meet to meet.

[00:24:58] And that's where the sparrows congregate as well. So, you know, you see a lot of birds, that 14 bird species on the state, Britain, get this golden bird swap is, um, but that's where you're likely to find them.

[00:25:16] And what are going to do is take a walk down the Twitters. Before we do, I want to raise. Poem that I wrote, which is in the book of poems, some of whom have seen this one so soon, contributed to that as well. And I wrote this poem for a reading that I did a cable straight, no type of strength.

[00:25:52] Um. People took part in what it is called the state.

[00:26:03] A mixed housing estate with three storey balcony access, walk ups, every walkways and streets in the sky for 10 story.

[00:26:17] Two hundred and thirty eight Kliman nutrient recycling trays once counted on to the former 1960s hubs such as the city's public house, a church of some sort and an ice cream parlor.

[00:26:34] Those conversations, conversations she voice in the 1970s, shops heralded by a joint printing press next to a hairdresser, a mini mart and a new study just where the latest heart attack and domestic dispute were hot, hot, hot appearances on traumas such as the bill and currently the culture and not reputation in any state. But Courreges isn't just as it's a natron statistic rises to the top. By fact, truthful politicians suffer a lesia from sentiment's in the Autism Housing Act, downplaying positive effects such as hardworking community spirit beauteous Ghadames. Sometimes these places are more beautiful when the wind has swept the politics clean out of the whole place, down the noise and into the songs by night.

[00:27:37] That center. Twitchers or urban alibi's, but reenroll south and east west. A greedy lot of insects are attracted to like. Horse chestnut, kangaroos, apple, cherry blossom, pull the flower filter its first.

[00:28:02] Revealing, popping in and out of Choctaws, sweeping dusty gutters, payload eyed jackdaws komando around the pics of the tottering tower blocks where secret lives are conducted. The autumn festival fixed is enjoyed by squirrels and winter rushes wassail conducted on acorns, conquerers, crop pools, spiracles, the berries. It is peaceful, no extraneous intrusions, just the cultural trend. Loquat shoes and pome olives with silver, maples and copper beaches excepting the occasional siren breaking these networks diminishes us all.

[00:28:52] So you've been hooked on Twitter.

[00:28:58] We're going to look at the pulse of East West while we go north south, just taking the kind of effect of the cold.

[00:29:10] We're going to mix up with a little bit of trees as well. So we're going to show.

[00:29:15] Well, thank you.

[00:29:19] But I just want to point out post New York Post link. And in that poll, a lot of the references came from him because he was one of the original investors and his I think his mom, who was born in the cottagers, and he used to talk about running errands. There used to be two scrap metal merchants on Tuesday and they would take bits and pieces so they'd get money for it. And if there's any change, they'd go to the ice cream parlor. And he said that the ice cream parlor.
