Early Voices gives nature a voice once again by playing the dawn chorus in metro stations, from the early morning until midday.
During the Week of Sound festival, the birdsong from Early Voices replaces the usual intercom music in the metro halls, creating a calming, sunny atmosphere for commuters waiting in the dark tunnels on their way to the festival.

Early Voices takes us back to the voices of a distant past. What lived in Brussels before humans settled here, and what did it sound like?
This sound piece is based on bird calls that reflect the current state of the ecosystem. The dawn chorus was recorded last spring deep in the Sonian Forest.

Now, these once-lost urban sounds are being reintroduced into the public space of the metro, an isolated yet widely used means of transport that connects diverse neighborhoods, but perhaps also distances us from our natural environment.
