This article explores the aural culture of the Cold War bunker. First by considering the insinuation of nuclear war (and attempts to survive it) into early 1980s UK popular music (and its echo in contemporary – ironic or nostalgic pastiche). Secondly by examining the increasing use of decommissioned bunkers as performance venues, some as decontextualized atmospheric backdrops, others with greater attentiveness to heritage and its interpretation. Lastly, the article considers the experience of my own act of cultural production in making a BBC Radio 4 documentary (Cold Art, broadcast in 2018) by exploring the resonant spaces of three Cold War sites, and the complex attraction these structures hold for artists and musicians. Across the article, these three instances of ‘sounds from the bunker’ are critically examined in order to explore the notion of the cultural politics of cultural appropriation and memory/trauma re-working, as a creative practice.

地堡的声音：听觉文化与冷战的余波

本文探讨了冷战地堡的听觉文化。首先，考虑将核战争（并试图使其生存）灌输到1980年代初期的英国流行音乐（及其在当代的讽刺或怀旧模仿中的回声）。其次，通过研究退役掩体作为表演场所的越来越多的使用，其中一些作为去上下文化的大气背景，另一些对遗产及其解释的关注度更高。最后，本文通过探索三个冷战场所的共振空间以及这些结构对艺术家和艺术家的复杂吸引力，考虑了我自己的文化生产行为在制作BBC Radio 4纪录片（冷艺术，于2018年播出）中的经验。音乐家。在整篇文章中
