Tideway Super Sewer Project
Tideway wanted to celebrate and capture the completion of its Super Sewer, as both a feat of civil engineering and the transformative effect on the future of the Thames river ecosystem.
However, there was only a small window of time to do it before the tunnels would be closed off to the public forever.
As the acoustics of the tunnel are so unique, I was commissioned to create a Time Capsule of the tunnel through a unique musical composition. The composition would be created using archival sounds captured within the tunnel, which would then be weaved into a musical track that told the sound of the tunnel’s journey. Essentially, the musical composition was created to capture the journey from tunnel to tide.
The project culminates in a live stream performance from the depths of the tunnel, 70 metres underground. Watch it below.
