Busking
This project involved the production of a compilation of buskers’ performances recorded at underground stations and subways around London. In exchange for a fee buskers agree to perform, their favourite song or composition, their most profitable song or composition and their least profitable song or composition. The compilation consisted of performances by 10 buskers. 

The compilation was completed in 2003, but is yet to be manufactured in a physical format (contact me if you are interested in getting involved). For now the work exists online on this site in mp3 format.
