The central premise of J.G. Ballard's short story "The Sound Sweep" resonates in the collective imagination of those who have read it. It proposes that sound leaves an inaudible, yet psychologically impactful residue in the spaces and objects it comes into contact with. This edition of WM presents a collection of vocal residues from a bunch of recent releases that whisper to the psyche from just out of earshot.
I am joined in the studio by artist and writer Jazmina Figueroa reading from two works forthcoming in Solitude Journal.
As always The Weirding Module listens in to spoken word and the voice in contemporary art and experimental music.
