From the Splendid Fred audio archive...

You're about to listen to a sequence of poetry entitled 'Eulogy'. Written and performed by poet Lawrence Nicholas.

The sequence was written in response to Splendid Fred's climate change album, This Changes Everything. The sequence was embedded into a soundscape and installed in Splendid Fred's multi media art exhibition at The University of Winchester on 3rd February, 2018. It lived in a listening booth that allowed for only a couple of listeners to experience at a time.

Now, it's here for your personal listening. Lawrence's poetry strides a desperately fragile line between beauty and violence in the sequence, it was privilege to craft a soundscape to form the audible bedrock for these words of transcendence.

Poetry and performance by Lawrence Nicholas.
