🖼 WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THAT ARTWORK?

Oh, that's a picture of something that I wouldn't have seen if I'd been staring at my phone, so it felt thematically appropriate. But I will admit that, when combined with the slightly oblique title, it does look quite peculiar. Ah well.


🙇‍♂️ ATTRIBUTIONS:

The town hall bell sound effect was actually a recording from freesound, because I didn't get a chance to pop into town and record the actual Nottingham Council House Bell in time. But this sounds a lot like it: Cathedral bell 9AM 200503_0169.wav by klankbeeld -- https://freesound.org/s/626836/ -- License: Attribution 4.0


All the other sound was real recordings made by me, so it's not all lies.
