Thom Yorke - Subterranea (2011/2015)

The soundscape is based on a previous work, Subterranea, created by Yorke for another Donwood installation in 2011, Mithras Tauroctonos Subterranea, a labyrinth in an underground train station in London

"Thom has done a new version of Subterranea, Part Two," Donwood says. It is based on field recordings taken over 24 hours in a Dorset holloway, a sunken pathway with trees arching in a tunnel overhead that has become a recurring theme in Donwood's art. "So there's lots of bird song and distant sound, but if you give sound files to Thom he will do things to them. So he has done unspeakable things to the lovely mellifluous sounds of an English country day. Now it sounds really quite menacing."

Three different tracks play simultaneously, one from sub-base woofers as visitors enter the space - "you'll hear a very low sound at first" - one from mid-range speakers, and one from top-range speakers suspended from the ceiling. "So once you're right inside in the middle you'll get the whole thing."

The soundscape also constantly shifts during the Sydney installation's 18 days on display, as the three tracks are played on random shuffle. "Mathematically if you have three things and you play them together at different times, the number of permutations is enormous," Donwood says. "So anyone who comes in at a different time will hear a different permutation of Subterranea Version Two."
