The Underground sound Project
in Prospect Park
Trailhead by Dog Beach, Prospect Park, NYC
The Underground Sound Project is a collection of subterranean acoustic recordings made by artist Nikki Lindt over the course of a year. They were made in Prospect Park, other natural areas within the five boroughs of NYC and in rural Cherry Valley, NY. The recordings are made by placing microphones underground, underwater and even inside trees.
You can also experience listening to these sounds from any location by hitting the 'I am Doing the Tour Remotely' button or simply scrolling down this page. So put on your headphones and come explore the melodic, resonant, and otherworldly sonic ecosystem right beneath our feet!
