Additional information
Taking its title from the sound ecologist R. Murray Schafer (discussed in my monograph), The Museum of Disappearing Sounds poses a series of questions about relationships between song, poetry, environmental sound and the body. Francis Godwin's seventeenth-century work of science fiction, in which the inhabitants of the moon speak a wordless musical language, is one reference point, while a series of deconstructed sonnets, 'The Rooms', explores the overlaps between lyric form and environmental sound in echo, resonance and repetition.
