Visit Scotland | A sonic portrait of Scotland
Visit Scotland were looking for a song to soundtrack their multi-channelled video content. Rather than find an existing one, we thought we’d make our own using real sampled and sourced sounds of Scotland - a true sonic portrait of modern Scotland. We enlisted the help of the very talented musician Zoe Graham, to capture these field recordings and translate them into a contemporary bop, and in turn, an ownable sound for Visit Scotland.
Field recorded modern sounds of Scotland included -
A can of Tennent’s cracking open
A diver jumping into Gourock Pool
Ambience from the UCI Cycling World Championships
Gaelic chitter chatter
The sound of a fish dropping into Anstruther Chip Shop’s fryer
The platform announcer at Glasgow Central Station
And many more!
