Wide Gap (Embankment)

Reimagined piece by Alex Hehir.

"I'm really interested in the electrical sounds and general ambience of the underground network and used this as my inspiration for the piece. The rhythmic elements of the piece are made from electrical noises and sub bass tones. I decided to write a fast , at times random arpeggiated synthesised patterns to reflect the hectic pace of this subterranean world.I used much of the original recording including a mutated version of the classic 'Mind the gap' public announcement."

Part of our project The Next Station, reimagining the sounds of the London Underground and creating the first ever tube sound map. August 2016 - for more information see www.citiesandmemory.com/thenextstation
