If you missed me making it sound like I was making art for fifteen minutes on Resonance FM the other week, you can hear it again below. It was originally broadcast on November 16th as part of the antepress art writing programme Digestives.
My next Digestives programme isn’t until early February. In the meantime here’s a sneak preview of what I’m looking at in preparation: Read the rest of this entry »

Things Are Exact is a short audio play between an indistinct number of matching voices battling between script and spontaneity. The voices try to catch time.

You can prepare a piano by putting things on the strings or under them or on the hammers or dampers. You can use razors, spare plates, cash, retractable pencils etc etc. This is also a way you can prepare a text.
