Tutor Feedback:This piece renders an oral history of Hearne Hill velodrome and you did very well, in the first instance,  to respond to the issues discussed in advance of this work's hand-in. 
The piece has clearly benefited as a consequence and you should take full credit for this. It is also the case, that you persevered excellently as the work progressed and you experienced various difficulties and dissatisfactions. This "negative capability" is a useful skill to possess, and to be aware of. See here for an extended discussion https://www.bl.uk/romantics-and-victorians/articles/john-keats-and-negative-capability.

This piece also shows your ability and soundscape compositions capacity to explore and articulate social issues. 

Good reflection on the project's development was shown as well as a frankness and openness about various technical issues that had been experienced. This is all good stuff to share as preparing reflexive comments allows to consolidate what is good practice and to reject what is more problematic. The program note also works well, though there are a couple of needless typos. Future writing will also benefit from a more critical and rigorous tone - these to be expected to develop for you quite naturally as time goes on.

File formatting, duration and file naming conventions have all been handled proficiently. Good work in the fundamentals here. The mix is also effective, making some good use of the stereo field - most notably in the transition from the introductory section. There is perhaps a little too much low frequency content (100 Hertz) - maybe some slight attenuation in this region on the master bus may have helped to improve speech intelligibility at times? I totally accept however, that this might have been tried, but the results found to be undesirable.

A good start to your creative work here at LCC. Not without its difficulties, this piece appears as a satisfactory conclusion to a, hopefully, worthwhile learning experience.
