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.
