The author describes Music from the Center of the Earth , a series of three electronic music installations deploying underground loudspeakers in various configurations. The works described are Notes from Underground, a tape piece realized in conjunction with Melissa Gould’s light installation, Floor Plan; The Magnetic Garden , a collective musical earthwork united by the author’s underground sound chambers and musics emulating biological time; and The Listening Well , an interactive listening and performing space that centers around a well designed both to play back a continuous sound-portrait of the world and to dialogue with sounds “cast” in it by the public
