The Sound of the Summer mixtape from People Like Us

Sound collagist People Like Us weaves recordings of the sound of summer, made by listeners, into a 30-minute mixtape. Hosted by Jennifer Lucy Allan.

Ice cream vans, cricket matches and inflatable kayaks. Throughout the summer we’ve been exploring the outside world, with listeners sending in their self-made field recordings capturing the sounds of summer. To round off the season, Jennifer Lucy Allan shares a special mixtape from People Like Us aka Vicki Bennett, weaving these recordings into her own unique style of montage. Bennett sees sampling as folk art in the age of mechanical reproduction, with all of the sharing and cross-referencing incumbent to a populist form. Since the early 90s she has been repurposing pre-existing footage to craft audiovisual collages, delving into the surreal with a dark and witty take on popular culture.

Elsewhere in the show we’ll hear the artist Jem Finer's excursions on hurdy-gurdy, a collaboration between American philosopher and poet Eugene Thacker and Iranian composer and sound artist Siavash Amini drawing inspiration from so-called 'cursed poets', and tropical chamber jazz recorded in Quito and played on the leaves of a ficus tree.
