The balcony outside his living room window looks on to a shared courtyard where residents lay out their yoga mats in the mornings and, on warm days, his Brazilian neighbours make use of the communal barbecue equipment. Adebiyi says he is envious of those living opposite whose flats get better light than his: \u201cAt sunset, [when] you get that lovely golden light that streaks across the sky, that\u2019s when the jealousy comes up. But you get the sun you get.\u201dAdebiyi is featured in Windows, a warmly meditative podcast from London-based network Transmission Roundhouse, which showcases the work of rising audio makers aged 18-25. Ivan d\u2019Avoine and Derick Armah are the producers, and their idea is simple: to go into people\u2019s homes and ask them what they see out of their window. It\u2019s a question that invariably leads to reflections on community, domesticity and the cheek-by-jowl nature of city living which, Adebiyi notes, can mean that \u201ceveryone\u2019s business spills into the shared space.\u201d 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, \u201cThere is comfort in the very walls,\u201d the listener can feel it too.\u00a0\u00a0D\u2019Avoine and Armah also talk to Jill Rock, an octogenarian ex-teacher and sculptor who makes work out of found objects from nature, and who lives in the Brunswick Centre, a grade II listed modernist complex in central London. She loves the light afforded by the building\u2019s prominent windows and the \u201cdefinitive\u201d view which allows her to see London landmarks Centre Point and the BT Tower. At the time of recording, the BT Tower\u2019s digital message board carries a notice saying: \u201cPeople die on our roads.\u201d Rock recalls the time it notified Londoners that David Bowie had died, prompting pedestrians in her neighbourhood to break into a spontaneous rendition of \u201cStarman\u201d.Windows reminds me a little of Where Are You Going?, a podcast based on a single question put to strangers which yields fascinating snapshots of human life. While D\u2019Avoine and Armah could dig deeper with their interviews \u2014 I wanted to know more about Rock\u2019s art and the gathering of her materials \u2014 the sound design, which interweaves music and the everyday sounds we normally tune out, is truly lovely.There are lots more gems on Transmission Roundhouse \u2014 and a reason why its audio makers have won awards. I can recommend UnReality by Talia Augustidis, a series of shorts on the collision of fiction and reality. In \u201cSleep Talks\u201d, Augustidis records surreal exchanges with her sleep-talking boyfriend while in \u201cDad Jokes\u201d she has a conversation with her father about why he became the focus of her stand-up routine.\u00a0audioboom.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
