Visualising Cave Sound workshop results

Thanks again to everyone who came along to our Visualising Cave Sound workshop/experiment. In minutes you have created a massive and brilliant cave art archive Hope you all had fun because I sure did!

I can't figure out how to make the attachments work so here's the link to a few photos and a collage of everyone's work (scanned and inverted - inverting the colours really brings out all the charcoal subtleties). You can zoom into it quite a bit and inspect each drawing from up close. https://photos.app.goo.gl/dxsAQv35BFCNWKSW7

There's still one more track left to listen, which we thought would be best not to play in case we scare you off! Here it is, the Sublingual Delusion: https://double-w.bandcamp.com/track/sublingual-delusion  Headphones advised.

That track is seriously spooky and the whispering part drove my daughter out of the room.  Very Useful.

We've had numerous responses to that track ranging from terror to bliss - oh, and complete ambivalence - mustn't forget that one. It was a tough one to put together, but it's growing on me after about a thousand plays. I can actually hum the tune now  :blink:

There?s a tune? 

Do not listen to this late at night. You?ll end up dreaming that you are trapped in a dystopian nightmare, with a raucous cacophony of competing voices coming from every side, and not being able to move in any direction. There will be a mounting sense of dread, like sliding towards an abyss and falling to your doom. Horrible.
And then you wake up, put on the BBC News and realise it wasn?t a dream. 

Seriously though, a thought-provoking piece and interesting to see the visual interpretations too. For a culture that is immersed in sound like never before, I don?t think we are very good at really listening, either to others or the world around.

Is that a Clanger I can hear whistling in the background?

'Thought-provoking' we like!

I wrote a short essay to go with this soundwork which does touch on that very topic:

And yes, it was a Clanger. It struggled a lot but eventually we got a sack over its head and stuffed it in the back of the van

A combination of spookiness, being near Mark Wright, being underground and - and yes there is a clanger
