An audio piece designed to be listened to while riding the purple line train from Union Station to Wilshire/Western
Don’t Look Back is an Orpheus-inspired immersive sound experience on the mythical character of the underground, the forward-facing character of Los Angeles, and how the Metro system is a place where different lives come together.
Once you download the soundtrack, the experience will take you on a journey from Union Station in downtown LA to the Wilshire/Western Station in Koreatown.
You descended -
To this place where people’s lives briefly brush each other
Where did you choose to sit?
Are you facing forward or backward?
Imagine this place as a stage.
The car.
The platforms.
The escalators.
A stage where myths could happen.
