TRAINWAVES
en route Sorgenfri – Copenhagen
TRAINWAVES invites the listener on an imaginary journey along the suburban train line between Sorgenfri and Copenhagen Central Station. Recorded voice announcements from trains and stations around the world, are combined with slowly unfolding soundscapes. As in a dream sequence, stations, languages, places, and sounds merge into a fantastical intermediate world – a state between wakefulness and dreaming that may occur on long train rides. Here, the journey takes us around the world on Copenhagen's E-line, blurring the boundaries between reality and imagination.
TRAINWAVES will be included on the upcoming release 'Selected Stereo Works' by Maia Urstad on Bloxham Tapes. Release date tba.
