A sound collage of audio snapshots sent from around the world captured on phones and digital recorders in response to lockdown.The recordings were used as source material for a live performance from Lyken’s Dumfriesshire studio, with additional processing and fragments of sound overdubbed later.
A mesostic poem accompanies the piece, written using the index letters R, A, D, I, O, P, H, R, E, N, I, A to select fragments of text from the descriptions that accompanied the recordings.If you would like to read the mesostic as you listen, it can be viewed here
