When I had a discman, a favorite thing to do was walk around Toronto at 9pm listening to Ideas on the CBC Radio One. Now that I’ve switched to an (irritatingly radio-less) iPod, it isn’t as easy to do that. A shame, especially as Invisible Cities<\/a> is airing tonight, all about what Toronto sounds like — perhaps an occasion to see if that old Sony still works.<\/p>\n

Cities are often distilled into postcard images a skyline or a prominent landmark. What we see is on the surface, but what lies beneath? Jowi Taylor<\/strong> takes us on a sonic journey through Toronto, to places heard but often not seen. There are layers of natural history, the economy, history and culture, which transform over time.<\/em><\/p>\n

Each of these layers has an identifiable sound: the sounds of nature, the sounds of industry, the sounds of language and culture. Each is a kind of composite element that forms part of an identity.<\/em><\/p>\n

Invisible Cities is an intimate journey into the heart of a city. It uses the voices, music and other sounds of Toronto to allow the listener to achieve a kind of shortcut to intimacy with the city. The show focuses on sounds that are lost in the din of contemporary life.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
