Composer and PhD candidate Boyi Bai was commissioned as part of the “Forged in Sheffield, Shaping the Future” fundraising and engagement campaign to compose a soundscape of Sheffield. The live recording was played as background sound at the start of a special alumni event at the Royal Institution theatre on October 15, 2024, creating an immersive atmosphere and generating interest in the sounds of Sheffield.
The recording features a range of iconic Sheffield sounds, including The Moor Market, Diamond, Soundhouse, Sheffield Tram, Uni Arms and iForge.
