Price Crash: The 'sound' of the stock market crash in the price of tin, October 1985.

Tin Cry: Tin, with its crystalline structure, cracks and groans when put under pressure, this was traditionally called "tin cry".

Price Crash / Tin Cry were two sound pieces placed in the context of a derilict mining site in Cornwall.

Tin Cry was placed at the entrance of Marriot's Shaft below the main grate.

Price Crash was played from a chimney stack, with a small mirror inside at its base allowing the viewer to see the small dot of light at the top of the stack.
