A radio composition by Jonny Trunk created from BBC Sound Effects recorded in the 1970s.

A radio composition by Jonny Trunk created entirely from BBC Sound Effects recorded between 1970 and 1979.

Record collector and DJ Jonny Trunk creates a new work made up entirely of BBC Sound Effects records from the 1970s. An unlikely sonic adventure into the lost world of Geiger counters, Routemaster buses, typewriters, vintage bells and windscreen wipers, all extracted from the original seven-inch vinyl pressings of recordings made between 1970 and 1979.

Live music and the arts: broadcasts more live music than any other radio network. Classical music is its core. Genres include world and new music, jazz, speech and drama.
