Arnolfini has teamed up with four Bristol based artists and musicians to make a series of soundtracks specifically for The Mall Bristol. Played throughout the shopping centre each day at 11.30pm, 1pm & 2.30pm for your listening pleasure!

Simon Whetham
Daily 11.30am

Simon spent a day recording in The Mall Bristol, capturing the sound of shoppers and shop staff, machinery and the building: both public areas and behind closed doors. The resulting composition reveals the sonic wonderland of the shopping centre.

The Glamourous / Iain Morrison and Leiza McLeod

A vocal track of songs about shopping and spending, celebrating the great art of commerce, from this pair of live artists / musicians.

The Glamourous' track was due to play every day in the week of 23 November at 1pm, but after a record number of complaints the track was withdrawn, to protect public sensibilities. Hear the offending tracks for free below and each day this week in Arnolfini's bookshop at 1.30pm.
