This piece is inspired from the sounds of the Paris metro, or subway, which I take every day to go to work. Here is how the piece was made : 1. I recorded real-life metro sounds and 2. converted the audio .wav format into MIDI format 3. which in turn produced a music score. 4. I chose the most meaningful melodic lines (and discarded most of the deep sound, cluster-like partials) and 5. experimented different echo, reverb and delay effect filters on the tuba part to bring out the tunnel's ambiance and 6. added the real-life sounds of the crystal glass to suggest the friction of the metro wheels on the iron rail. That's the tunnel mermaids singing.

Chant des sirènes de sous terre

If there is anything on this planet that seems to combine any culture and/or people of the world, it obviously is music.
