002 Urban Songline // Latitude 51.4854° N - 51.48484° N / Longitude: -0.11449° W - -0.11355° W

Music created from a 'breathing' Gasholder tank in the South of London, designing a musical score from its different positions and animating from memory the movement over a three months period, which subsequently becomes a scenario for a song or 'Urban Songline'.

The tradition of the Songlines, a system for navigation and caretaking of their land among Aboriginal Australians, translated to mapping urban space by creating music from its topography, discussing how we use and experience the public domain and to what degree we can claim ownership over it.

The Urban Songline is cut into vinyl and distributed for free amongst DJ's so they can use the records in sampling, re-distributing the co-ownership over this piece of public space.
