Bunker's Bonkers..

I’m doing some research on WWII London’s bunkers for a sound installation.. it was pretty handy for this purpose visiting an exhibition set in a bunker not far from Café Oto in Dalston. Could be cool having access to the building and play some war sounds in the space itself and then to re-record them. I’ll probably need some LOUD speakers to play back sounds of sirens and spitfires and V2 rockets, and small radios or beaten up devices to reproduce Radio London dispatches and some background 40’s music. Winston Churchill’s voice is a must..
I’m drifting away from the idea of having it as a 8-channels piece, and moving towards something more visual which should utilize lots of sub-bass and infrasounds.. it also have to be a claustrophobic small and dark space.. basically the public should feel like BEING in a bunker for real. Need to get in contact with the imperial war museum and other related entities to see if I can get some funds or support of some kind..oh yeah!! I definitely need to get one of those metal portable sirens! If you live in the London fields area and you hear an alert for an air-blitz don’t panic. That’s probably me..signing off.
