“Whatever happened to the London night? It certainly feels to me as if the London night has been decommissioned and that its fissile, threatening energies are now spent. … Over the course of the next year I will be journeying from dusk until dawn; by road, air and water; from its concrete centre to its pastoral fringes; from its subterranean cellars to high up in the sky – with a view to exploring the extent to which nocturnal London can counterbalance an increasingly legible and emulsified diurnal London.

An intriguing new collaboration between writer Sukhdev Sandu, and sound artists Ian Budden and Scanner, Night Haunts explores the people and spaces that emerge in London once the lights go out. You can see and hear the project unfold at Night Haunts (in Flash and HTML), where new episodes will be released on a monthly basis.
