CHONGQING CONSTRUCTION WORKERS’ PERCUSSION ENSEMBLE
China, Chongqing, 2005
China, Chongqing, 2005
A group of construction workers attacking paving stones with pickaxes and chisels in Jiefangbei. The fact that their pickaxes are all tuned to different notes makes the process sound more like a musical performance than a building site. Recorded for the D-Fuse project Undercurrent.
