Synopsis
You're traveling through the subways of New York.
A journey into a labyrinth whose passages are that of
imagination where underground artwork comes to life.
That's the station up ahead - your next stop is ..."
Background
I created this after being inspired by a number of subway artwork pieces. I narrowed it down to the artwork that contained characters. I got the idea that these characters could be trying to escape the subway. Using this I reduced it to 4 subway stops, one of which contained a lot of abstract mosaics. Then came the idea that they could be trapped in the subway, much like a Twilite Zone episode.
Music
I got to use a lot of fun pieces, Also subway sounds that I
had recorded. Many familiar subway sounds including
'The Next Stop is' and 'Stand Clear of the Closing Doors'
can be heard.
