Hungerford Bridge

Hungerford Bridge An ebbing soundtrack of trains and tide. The recording was made on the edge of the River Thames at low tide underneath Hungerford Bridge - a railway bridge that links the South Bank to Charing Cross Station in London. Bolted onto its side is a footbridge. |

Hungerford Bridge was originally recorded for the art event European Echoes at Röda Sten in Göteborg, Sweden, 1998. Curated by Biggi Vinkeloe, Andrew Cowie and Peeter Uuskyla.
Röda Sten is an abandoned turbine building under the vast road bridge that crosses the estuary in Göteborg. Tilson searched in London to find an audio equivalent to the Swedish location. He listened to many bridges. Hungerford Bridge was choosen for the combined sound of people, tide and and trains. Herakleitos: |
