metal speaks

Within the Car Park are a host of potential sounds, each one related to the building’s structure. Fixed rails, rectangular columns, free-standing pipes and peculiar wall fixings all contribute to an overall sonic identity.

The sounds not only tell the story of the building’s degradation but also of its construct. Their raw, untuned qualities are also reminiscent of other sounds and therefore have the potential to connect the listener to more personal memories of places and emotions.

The Car Park is not an instrument though, and the sounds that it offers are, for the most, to me musically uninteresting. It appears that the space is as bleak as it looks as it sounds.
