Sam Robinson otherwise known as "The Kalou Sound" has presented us with an interesting take of famous London tube map.
Developed as a MAX MSP application, the user is confronted with an interactive version of the familiar London tube map. Users are encouraged to plot out their own "Sonic Journey" whereby the result is an amalgamation of field recordings taken at those locations. Sonic Tube Map

"To begin, the user simply clicks 'Start' followed by the circles next to the stations on their chosen route. After the route has been decided, the 'End' button is clicked; the journey begins, with each station on route offering a sonic snapshot of the area, intertwined with tube train recordings simulating the journey."
"I visited each of the 62 zone 1 Underground stations and their surrounding areas, recording what I heard (the criteria for which is below). I cut the recording into smaller segments (13 seconds) and using Max MSP, mapped each station giving it its own unique sound file. I also made a number of recordings on tube trains. These 10 short files (7 seconds) are randomised during the journey."
