Constructed with a limited word count, six pieces originally written to be used freely within a music context for composer Olly Sellwood's Microsong Cycle.
Each story is separate, the collection crossing between fictional events, stretched language, interventions in systems of living, and art-historical fable. 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 at the night 'Escape from Ekphrasis' alongside The Fargions in September at Iklectik, London. Music written for voice, accordion & clarinet in B♭, and electronics. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "I think everything got out of hand when the smoothies started getting friendly.
