Akihabara Station reimagined byt Michael Lilley.

"I chose to contrast the white noise ambience of the crowd in Akihabara Station with the electronic bing bongs. I added some discordant oboes, to add a feeling of general unease.

"Towards the end, as the soundscape fades, I'd like to think the effect I created is the train shunting off!"
