Wanting to be light again
Wanting this whole problem of living to be lifted
And carried on a hip

Perhaps the immobility of the things around us is imposed on them by our certainty that they are themselves and not anything else, by the immobility of our mind confronting them.

February 21/22 6pm-6pm the CLGArchives will host a marathon 24 hour broadcast of the earliest tapes in the collection. Dating from the 70s onwards these cassettes have yet to be catalogued and haven’t been heard in decades. Throughout 24 hours of continuous listening each tape will be digitized and catalogued in an effort to carry them forward. Audiences at the archives will be invited to create a realtime mix of the process which will be continuously broadcast live online.
