Re-Kindling - Royal Docks Originals

Comissioned by Royal Docks Originals & DASH ARTS for Soundscape composition in collaboration with Marie Horner.

Rekindling explores the metamorphosis of the Royal Docks. Built during the Industrial Revolution as the largest enclosed docks in the world, Royal Docks aided London’s growth as a global city. Now the area is re-emerging as a centre for enterprise, innovation and culture powered by its diverse communities, pioneering spirit, and global links.
