The video was filmed in a redundant Omega tracking Station in Chaguaramus, Trinidad. In 1977 the site was abandoned following the end of America's 36 year occupation of Chaguaramas. The Tracking Station is one of eight such installations around the globe. Together they formed the worlds first Global Navigation System. The extraordinary acoustic of this utilitarian architecture and the buildings original function were reverberated by the vibrato voice of the Soprano. Supported by |
