More subtle and pervasive is the Sounds of the Serengeti, by Tim Crowley, which plays African birdcalls, monkey screeches, and occasional grunting over the noise of Falmouth's main shopping street. The sound is spread across multiple speakers, so it creeps up on the listener's consciousness (if it is even noticed at all), and the source of the sound is hidden by the narrow street and high shop fronts. There's an imperceptible mix between the alien and the native sounds of the gulls and cars, and it becomes particularly hard to distinguish the animal from the human when I walk the street late on Saturday night, the air filled with mating calls and displays of aggression.

Tony Whitehead in Soundings

Led a couple of soundwalks for LiveArt Falmouth yesterday. A huge programme of activity from artists, video, performance and so on, taking place around town. Particularly interesting, along the main street sound artist Tim Crowley had placed speakers high up in rooms above shops playing sounds recorded on the Serengeti. Some were obviously alien to the high street, but many blended in so much so that they didn't turn heads of the shoppers and tourists. Indeed, even the sounds of elephants didn't turn some heads!
