Very pleased to have been included on this excellent compilation out now on the Belgian label Sub Rosa. The compilation consists of of archive material and remixes and is available as a double LP or CD set. The project was curated by Alan Dunn in collaboration with the International Anthony Burgess Foundation and Sub Rosa.
Disc 1 contains the very first and last known recordings of Burgess’s voice alongside domestic incidents, rehearsals and answering machine messages, while Disc 2 invites 23 artists and musicians to remix the rare material into a unique Burgess portrait far beyond ‘A Clockwork Orange’ including reinterpretations by Chris Watson, Dinah Bird, Scanner, Mark Vernon and many others.
Anthony Burgess’s second wife Liana carried a cassette recorder with her at all times to capture her life with the author and their son Andrew. This extraordinarily intimate audio archive of over 1,000 cassettes now sits with the International Anthony Burgess Foundation and artist Alan Dunn has been granted access to select excerpts from it and curate sonic conversations from others.
Available now from Sub Rosa.
