An interactive sound installation and SoundWalk which invite you to listen in, as a conflict between the River Goyt and the forces that shape it reverberates through the vast network of tunnels hidden beneath Stockport’s streets.

Sound Installation: Currents from the Power Station

Set within the underground spaces of Stockport Air Raid Shelter, the sound sculpture channels the electric pulse of the former power station. The currents form a score of an industrial past that has never properly been “cleaned up” and still resonates today through the course of the river and the hidden underground tunnels that fed the power station. 

Featuring six touch-activated copper trumpets, their stems shaped to represent the network of tunnels, each uncovers a chapter in the turbulent relationship between the power station and the River Goyt.

The Electric Echoes SoundWalk is still available self-guided in Stockport via the Echoes XYZ app, for more information visit the project page.

The project was a collaboration with Stockport communities, including Hong Kong Fellowship and CultureBridge. A series of online and in-person workshops helped shape the ideas, themes and content for the sound sculpture and SoundWalk, more information on FutureEverything’s website.
