Deep, Down and Under.

Deep Down and Under is a 28 minutes contemplative audio work that plays with the natural resonances of underground spaces.

The piece begins in the main station of Helsinki where the icy cold sharpness of Winter amplify the comings and goings of the trains. From there we are taken to a number of diverse sonic locations; from the empty metro tunnels of Oslo, down to the subterranean underpaths of Montreal, through the 18 km labyrinth of Gallo-Roman chalk vaults in the Pommery champagne cellars in Reims, ending up in a tiny toy shop down a claustrophobic alley in Venice.
