Over 2018-19, I
collaborated with artist/illustrator
Dominika Wroblewska on a series of soundworks recorded entirely
underground in various caves and mines in the Peak District, and
only utilising the natural objects and materials found within them -
rocks, mud, lots of water - and of course, the human voice. This
perhaps is the defining underground sound for the cave explorer, as
it allows a degree of comparison to be made with the overground
world - and the differences can be profound, with an infinite
variety of acoustic spaces.
The project (under the artist name of
double-W) produced six tracks, which were compiled
into a mini-album The Lure of the Hole,
and which is available to stream and buy on the
Bandcamp website - more tracks are planned as time allows.
I also wrote a short
essay on some ideas on cave sounds stimulated by the project. |
