A new post over at my Voiceworks 2011 blog – a couple of thoughts on Headphone Space

To celebrate the launch of the new Stress Fractures, I’ll be giving a performance-lecture on the radio voice with Holly Pester. And the fantastic Hannah Silva will also be performing.

Thursday 16th December — 8pm — Whitechapel Gallery, London
Tickets are £6 and can be booked here

This is the third in a series of Stress Fractures events: others are on October 28th and November 11th

On Tuesday 9th November I’m reading at the Blue Bus series with Chris Gutkind and Rachel Lehrman.

8pm – Upstairs @ The Lamb – Lamb’s Conduit Street – London WC1

On Monday 8th November I’ll be giving a public lecture called:

Visions in a Hollow Land: the novels of Mary Butts and experimental radar of the 1940s.

I’ll explore the connections between the occult-influenced modernist novelist Mary Butts, and the wartime experiments in radar that took place along the coastline of her ‘Hollow Land’ of South Dorset. It’s all about threat, paranoia and enforcing the regime of visibility in times of crisis. If this sounds like your cup of tea then please come!

No, not the sandwich. Broadcast Linguistic Transmissions is a new performance by me and Holly Pester, based on our ongoing investigations into the radio voice. There will be tape voices, body static, live radio transmissions and headphone paranoia.

The flower stories I wrote for the Funeral for Flowers project with Heather Ring have gained a second life at her Union Street Urban Orchard. This is a great project so if you’re in London over the summer go and have a look!
