Some years back I wrote a piece for Unknown Public, an awesome music magazine in a box.

It was called ‘Venetian Underground’ and was a depiction of an imaginary metro system beneath the canals of Venice. The subvapporetti would clunk along deep in the sub aqueous gloom, sometimes running grinding sparks off the undersides of gratings in church floors…

It was (I now realize) a rather steampunk idea.

But; I loved the idea more than the piece I wrote.

To address this, I’ve started work on a cycle of pieces revisiting the place in my head

Hope you like it. If so, leave a note, or a stumble thumbs up and then – try this
