During 2005 Beijingers were asked what their favorite sound was, which Cusak recorded in his continuing effort to discover the positive in their city's soundscape.
 

Cusack, Peter
Favourite Beijing Sounds



Label: KwanYin Records
Country: China

"What is your favorite Beijing sound and why? During September 2005 hundreds of Beijingers were asked this question and their replies make up the tracks of this compact disc [...]. Set up by British Council as part of their Sounds in the city initiative that took place in Shanghai, Chongqing & Guangzhou [...] The Favorite sound project aims to discover what people find positive about their city's soundscape. It started in London in 1998 and still continues there."-Peter Cusack, April 2007.
