District Line

Extending the concept of travelling trains along a line*, from a 2014 project with violin duo Mainly Two.

6 trains added. All of which deviate within their own movement, creating realtime push-and-pull tension, friction and freedom.

Also, I like the distortion.

*topographic, sonic (frequency and amplitude) and chronological line.
