Research Feature: Sounding Underground
Sounding Underground, funded by a Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellowship 2007-2009, and supported by the Institute of Creative Technologies at De Montfort University, is an internet-based sonic environment that links passengers’ listening experiences of commuting through the metros of London, Mexico and Paris. Its graphic interface and sonic navigational structure were derived from the exploration of both the commonalities and the uniqueness of soundscapes in Mexico and Paris, as counterparts of London Underground.
