Hearspool 7: Kakistocracy (April 25th 2013)


Listen Later

Hearspool 7: Kakistocracy is broadcast live on Basic.FM at 2pm UK time today. The hour-long radiophonic composition by Momus mixes up a fairytale told by a South Carolina babysitter with documentaries about a boarding house in Bayswater, Armenia, the Northern Lights, and Francis Bacon. There’s a song about a mammoth preserved in ice, and John Berger’s calls, in Ways of Seeing, for “a world-political view”. The Hearspool is also available as an archived mp3 here.
