Euston's Ocean

Euston Underground reimagined by Christina Wong.

"When I first heard the recording (of "Euston Underground Station"), the first thing that popped into my mind was "ocean". Using that as a starting point, I wanted to create a piece that sounded like waves of commuting, waves of sounds (the doors, the chimes, the announcements, the footsteps, etc.) heard underground. And as much as commuting can be dreary, I wanted the piece to be light, so I added the banjo ukulele to it and imagined the song to be a soundtrack to someone's commute."

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
