The Woodwind Ghosts of Bank Tube Station

Reimagined piece by sp3ct3rs.

"‘The woodwind ghosts of bank tube station' was developed using the classic cut-up technique found in literature, harnessing the existing real-time field recording and twisting it to produce a glitched and bent other-world sound. Several versions of this track were created expressing a variety of pitches as well as reverb levels with some delay, then disassembled and reassembled at different volumes to affect a ghostly auditory presence. This produces a sense of real-world movement while creating a horror soundtrack feeling. The track was conceived after reading about ghosts in the tubes and was inspired in part by the tale of the black nun."

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
