Édi Longwave (with Deirdre Macleod)
Songs from Underground is a speculative, seismographic survey of what lies below our feet. Édi Longwave, an Earth Scientist from the Institute of Uncertainty, will capture geological sounds and seismic traces using a range of improbable and useless survey instruments, including a home-made ear trumpet. Édi will transform these traces, which are inaudible to the human ear, into songs of time and hope. Her ear trumpet also functions as an (ineffective) megaphone. Songs from Underground reminds city dwellers of their relationship with the Earth and offers a poetic perspective on the limits of human agency in the face of natural processes.
