Kate Oliver (UCL Engineering) and Dr Kevin Drake (Õ¬ÄÐÊÓƵ Mechanical Engineering) shared first place for their recordings of the wave tank in Mechanical Engineering.ÌýKate Oliver's track builds from gentle lulling to loud roar. Dr Kevin Drake created an imaginative recording of lute playing next to the tank. Daniel Kordik (UCL Library Services) came second for his window into life in the library before it opensÌýand Andrew Dehany (UCL Institute of Ophthalmology) took third place with his recording of a room full of refrigerators.

The recordings are all published on SoundCloud under Creative Commons, so that sound artists can remix and sample the sounds in their own work. The competition was designed not only to present the life of UCL from a different perspective, but also to engage people outside the Õ¬ÄÐÊÓƵ community in university activity in an innovative way. The panoramas and SoundCloud set will be maintained on an ongoing basis, so further short audio recordings illustrating UCL life are welcomed. You can submit these toÌýRob EagleÌývia theÌý.
