“This soundscape is always here, it's always under the city. It's happening all the time, whether I record it or not,” Jane Tsong says. Photo by Shutterstock.

Artist Jane Tsong is showcasing underground river sounds from across the city in her project called Underflow LA

“This is a sound of nature that's produced by this landscape and it's flowing under our city. And yet we don't have access to those sounds,” Tsong says.

She notes that although people listen to moving water to relax, it’s rarely from LA. Her project allows them to do so locally.

“This soundscape is always here, it's always under the city. It's happening all the time, whether I record it or not,” Tsong says.

The project is accessible online through October, but Tsong considers it ongoing. She says everything will be put on her personal website once the Underground LA site goes down.
