Recordist's notes
Recorded on a SOMA Ether V2 I came back to the same spot a day later after seeing a number of wires and fuse boxes at the front of the tunnels. I assumed that they were put in place to power the lights which no longer work, but I guessed there might still be electricity flowing through. As it happens I was right. Very granular, crackly sound.
