“Between the Sky and the World under the Ground” is a collage of sounds of a Bangalore neighbourhood. The field sounds were recorded for a short digital film, titled One Way, in 2007. "One Way" is about a Nepali security guard living in the basement of an apartment. Ambient sounds were recorded at varying heights through the day; from the basement till the 13th floor of a tall apartment building. What may only be audible at different levels, are brought together on a single track, constructing a kind of cubist portrait of the site. Thus, the sounds of a worker engaged in his daily chores in the basement, are juxtaposed with conversations at ground level, the call of the mosque, and the unfolding television news of political upheaval in Nepal (2006).
