Up From The Deep

Description

For five nights in August 2016, Tunnel Number Five was filled with music. This is a selection of collaborations edited to fit on one CD. Each concert featured a different mix of artists performing antiphonally along the tunnel.

Tunnel Number Five’s festival of underground music ran a series of exploratory and collaborative concerts in the WWII Oil Storage Tunnels under Darwin in August 2016 and 2017.

We respectfully acknowledge the Larrakia people, in whose land this tunnel lies.

Important note on listening to this album

If you have a fancy home sound system, please turn off all effects and surround sound functions as these disguise the physicality of the tunnel. Headphones give a good stereo experience of being in the 172m of resonance with performers and audience. We recommend listening with headphones to get the full stereophonic effect of the movement of sound down the length of the tunnel. The microphones were facing each end of the 172m tunnel, in different locations on different nights, in the midst of a single line of 70 to 110 audience members (100 is full house!) as the performers stood or wandered along the tunnel before them.
