It Must Have Been Dark by Then is a book and audio experience that uses a mixture of evocative music, narration and field recording to bring you stories of changing environments, from the swamplands of Louisiana, to empty Latvian villages and the edge of the Tunisian Sahara. Unlike many audio guides, there is no preset route, the software builds a unique map for each person’s experience. It is up to the participant to choose their own path through the city, connecting the remote to the immediate, the precious to the disappearing.
“a narrative territory both fixed to the world and intangibly layered across it”- Times Literary Supplement
To experience it you will need a smartphone (see below), headphones and a copy of the phyical book. You will be going on a physical journey for about 60mins (depending on the route you choose).
