Martin Place Metro
The new Metro stations in Sydney are really wonderful.
I had been to Martin Place briefly, but seen very littleso checked it out properly today.
The main, and temporary extras are of a tunnel, running between the existing station and the new Metro, conceived as Mulu Giligu, which is Gadigal for “path of light.”
The tunnel has been carefully worked as a future-scape of immersive sound and light, running on a dynamic algorithm to welcome various works like Tina Havelock Stevens’ ‘Sonic Luminescence,’ constructed from various field recordings and a “pre-colonial symphony” of magpies, butcherbirds and owls with vocals and violins played by Indigenous musicians.
Lots more to see and I think I'll put up a flickr set sometime.
