A microsong cycle, made of six original fictions by Rose Biggin and Keir Cooper set to music by Olly Sellwood. Each story is a separate narrative, crossing between recounts of fictionalised events, interventions in systems of living, and depictions of human relationships.
Performed by the Eva Zollner & Heather Roche duo with vocalist Pete Falconer. Excerpt rearranged for Riot Ensemble with Hannah Williams & Stephanie Lamprea at King’s Place in July 2023 and the full work premiering alongside The Fargions in September at Iklectik, London. Written for voice, accordion & clarinet in B♭, and electronics. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "I think everything got out of hand when the smoothies started getting friendly.
