XII Sound

SITE is a collaborative conceptual series curated by Driftworks and Audiobulb Records, exploring the relationship between sound and place. Each edition invites artists to recreate their personal perception of a location, blending environmental sounds and imagery to capture the unique ‘audio-geography’ of our world.

XII Sound is Alice DeVille whose SITE is the London Underground. As well as fear, there is also a beautiful familiarity for me in the sounds of the London Underground. I grew up right next to Wimbledon Park station, and I remember falling asleep as a child to the squeak of brakes or the clunking, soothing rhythms of the trains. The familiar announcements, the snippets of conversation, and the sounds of life are deeply nostalgic and soothing for me.

I have noticed that the tube, with its long windpipe, is a singer like me. At times in Tube V, I sing a duet with it.
