"Three text scores for vocal ensembles inspired by the late composer Pauline Oliveros and the work of the Springfield - St Katherine Deep Listening Study Group. Scores were recorded and performed in Thurgoland Tunnel, South Yorkshire. It is a former railway tunnel, built in the late 1940s and is part of the Upper Don and Trans-Pennine Trails. The Tunnel has a unique acoustic - a rhythmic reverb that lasts for up to 20 seconds. The effect is caused by sound-focussing due to the tunnel's horseshoe cross-section, its smooth lining and the distinct 4000-foot radius curve"
