The Hidden Melodies of Subways Around the World

It’s probably been a while since you’ve been on a subway — let alone in a different city. This beautifully designed piece takes you for a ride, an acoustic subway ride around the world, making you listen closely to the melodies that usually warn you to stand clear of the closing doors. From the classics in New York or London, to Bossa Nova inspired warning sounds in Rio de Janeiro and the very German, uhm, melody in Berlin.
