Ever wondered what it sounds like underground? The earth beneath our feet is a secret sonic world of worms, grubs and roots rummaging around underneath us. Come and lie down on the earth and listen to the soil.

Participants were invited to take a blanket and a pair of headphones, find a space within the grounds of Tregwynt Mansion and listen to the sounds of the soil beneath them. The soundscape took the listener on a journey from the dark musty depths of the forest floor filled with munching and gurgling insects to the high desolate cliffs of the coastal path where the long dry grass acts as an amplifier for the wind, feeding the sound down into it's root systems beneath.

Below Ground was commissioned for On Lands Edge Festival 2022, Pembrokeshire.
