about

This spoken word piece has been made freely available for sound artists, creatives and producers to add to their own materials. Feel free to chop, repeat, distort, enhance in whatever way you see fit.

The track was live recorded by Ashley Tendekai (aka FLVZ) at the Northern Quarter Bar in Huddersfield. Ashley recorded it for a University sound project he was involved in at the time and it was done prior to an electronic music open mic (EMOM). The recording has also been mixed with experimental sounds for the album The Flow Across Borders by Dohnavur which was released on Castles in Space. The album took its name from a line in the poem.

The poem itself was written some ten years ago and was fully intended as an abstract set of statements and phrases. It brings together personal experiences, thoughts, observations and memories into what is intended to be a chaotic whole. A collage not made of pictures but words.
