Natalia Beylis – Antwerp Central Station – January 2014

Antwerp is a magic cauldron of sounds; an ideal place to eavesdrop on a mix of inflections, dialects and accents. Belgium has three official languages so on a train ride the voices can turn from Dutch to French speaking and the entire mood changes with the words. Add to this mix all of the sounds brought over by immigrants from across Europe and beyond and you've got a unique tapestry of voices.

When collecting sounds I love to move through spaces to capture the affects of architecture on sound. In this recording, I begin inside the large echoey hall of Antwerp Central Station and then walk out onto the main square. This was recorded on a dry, sunny Sunday afternoon in winter. There are hordes of children playing in the park outside the station. People don't seem in as much of a hurry as on a weekday and the footfalls are leisurely. This was my first time in this square.
