about

whythisandnotanother? began as the first of my three very short novels: highly compressed texts exploring obsessive memories and their relationship to language. It was written as a birthday present for my friend and collaborator Matt Jones. In this live version, the recitation of the work’s ten ‘chapters’ creates a structure around which a musical discourse unfolds.
