London’s Heathrow Airport is hoping to get travelers into the holiday mood this summer with a soundtrack of real-life jet engines, lift dings and baggage sirens.
Created by Grammy-nominated Jordan Rakei, “Music for Heathrow” is the first track to be made entirely with sounds recorded from an airport, according to an announcement from the UK airport Tuesday.
To help create the song, Rakei was given “unprecedented” access to Europe’s busiest airport.
He sampled more than 50 sounds from the airfield, baggage handling systems and the terminals, Heathrow Airport said.
Sounds featured in the song include passports being stamped, bags hitting the conveyor belt and public address announcements.
