a sunny morning on earth

Monday morning, on top of a ridge overlooking Thorverton, near Tiverton, Devon.

Listening to the sounds of the earth, amplified by a double bass.


We buried hydro- and geophones to pick up sounds of the earth and then applied the sound to the bridge and body of the bass to amplify it. 

If you're wondering what it sounds like we'll post an audio link shortly.
