about

A selection of collaborations from five gigs in Tunnel Number Five in August 2016. Each concert featured a different mix of artists performing antiphonally along the tunnel.

We recommend listening with earphones to get the full stereophonic effect of the movement of sound along the length of the 172m tunnel. The microphones were facing each end of the tunnel, in different locations on different nights, in the midst of a single line of 100 audience members as the performers stood or wandered along the tunnel before them. Recorded by Location Recordist, David Matthews.
