deep_map is a collection of field recordings recorded with industrial geophones—transducers designed for seismic investigations. When we talk of ethnography of space and place too often sound is an afterthought, and sound in the low end of the frequency spectrum (particularly infrasound) is hardly ever considered. This work, initially conceptualized as a multichannel sound installation, foregrounds the liminal industrial rumblings and subterranean resonances of the world around us and below our feet; I hope it evokes place in a subtle yet powerful way. On the topic of subtlety, please be aware that deep_map primarily consists of low-frequency sound and laptop speakers will not be suitable to hear all of the work. For ideal listening, please use headphones or speakers.
