Lift recordings

Recording the doors, chimes and voices of every lift I use for a year. Paused because the best lift in Harrow is still broken.

Placeholder — closed lift doors with a band of light.

Every lift has a voice, even the ones that do not talk. The doors have a rhythm, the motor has a pitch, the chime is either one note or two. The hospital lift says doors closing in a voice so tired you want to give it a holiday.

Twelve lifts recorded so far. Paused, because the one I actually want — the car park lift, out of order since 2019 — is still out of order.
