The music features six compositions scored for voice, accordion, and clarinet. Each composition is made of six original microfictions (short stories) by Rose Biggin & Keir Cooper set to music by Olly Sellwood.
Each story is separate, the collection crossing between fictional events, stretched language, interventions in systems of living, and art-historical fable. CREDITS: Performed by Peter Falconer (voice), Heather Roche (clarinets), and Eva Zollner (accordion). Heather and Eva recorded by Dave Holmes at Lightship 95. Peter recorded himself at home. Produced, edited and mixed by Olly Sellwood. Mastered by Grant Leslie. Album design by Keir Cooper. Photography by Ash Sealy. Released by Surface Press (Album comes with booklet containing the text of the stories.) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "I think everything got out of hand when the smoothies started getting friendly.
