My twitter friends and I started
to imagine concerts of sounds we would like to hear. Here are some of
my suggestions followed by some of theirs.

A Concert Of Lost Sounds
I'd
love to go to a concert which was just lots of people in miked-up
corduroy trousers walking around for an hour or so.
A concert of stifled burps after the imbibing of coca cola.
A concert of library sighs.
A concert of all the sorries you've uttered when someone else steps on
your foot.
A reading of all the typos in published novels.
A concert of names deliberately called too quietly to attract the
attention of the people they belong to.
A concert of disapproving sniffs and tuts.
A concert of rattly-dog-head-shakes.
A concert of unguents oozing from squeezed tubes.
A concert of flicked pips landing.
A concert of children being hurriedly ushered away from an adult (male,
about 5'8",176 pounds), making a bit of a scene in the fishmongers.
A concert, a live relay of all the 'count ups' in children's games
across the world, for ever more.
A concert of hot-water bottles being filled and cups of tea being
poured into finest china.
And your suggestions:
@MummyLion How about a concert of people miked up and eating kettle
chips?
@David_C_Lewis What about an entire concert of the polite murmurs of
disapproval that always precede a classical music performance?
@edsbrother: a concert of miked up people yawning.

@etominusipi a concert of the despairing groans of missed penalty kicks.

For Godot.

the toilet rolls really fast in public toilets to obscure other sounds.

@TheSimonEvans And hot concrete.
@LettersOfNote A concert of red-faced businessmen attempting and
failing to stifle farts.
@nickgblue a concert of people forgetting the words and mumbling
instead.

@pigpogm Oooh, that noise you get when you bang the edge of a pan
you're swirling water around in! That's a great noise!
@etominusipi a concert of hungry prisoners devouring celery
@coolchiccy A concert of gin soaked rasps at 1am from high heeled
smokers outside a Soho bar.

watered-down coke, through a straw.
