TRAINWAVES
takes 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.
CREDITS: Voice Announcers: Danae Stefanou (GR), Gert Poulsen (DK), Cape Town railway station announcers (SA), announcers in Japan, and other unknown voices that share information on trains and stations around the world. Thanks to friends and colleagues who have shared train recordings and other sounds.
Trainwaves will be included on the upcoming release 'Selected Stereo Works' on Bloxham Tapes. Release date tba.
