This scene took its place in the first venue of immersive theatre, hairdresser Cuts in Soho. It is a rework and adaptation of my previous sound piece ‘Indochina Jungle’
Dumpling soundscape has been mixed into the full scene which took place in the second venue at The Koppel in Piccadilly Circus. It is a field recording of playful manipulation of a raw dough and boiling water.
Hell Soundscape has been mixed into the full scene which took place in the third venue at St Patrick’s Church in Soho Square. It is a recording of electromagnetic waves from inside of the Overground train made by Soma Ether enhanced with very long reverb
