Exploiting the twisted logic of Cockney Rhyming slang,  this monologue daisy-chains an eclectic array of topics that prove that  sometimes it's best to say something by saying something else. Listen as we explore Hillbillies, Hedy Lemarr, The Sound of Music, Bluetooth, The Monkees, Andy Warhol, and, of course, laxatives.

Numbers can be lucky or they can be random. This audio collage channels the spirit of e.e. cummings to travel inside the secret life of numbers to a place where we can all live like the light that kills.

Written and Performed by David Clark

Includes readings from "Let's Live Suddenly Without Thinking" by e.e. cummings

Part Nihilistic metafiction and part elevator pitch for a world where anything is possible, this program channels a beatnik vibe in the Post-Trump age of HyperNormalisation. This can of worms contains, among other things, a meditation on David Lewis' ideas of Modal Realism and the uses of erasure. Made in Harlem the week after the 2016 US election!

Something mysterious happens at the laundromat and the  robots want to know why. A quotidian litany is read, the smell architecture of dogs is compared with Occult Chemistry practices before the revolution comes and goes. Then the proposition of retrocausality is considered as a super8 film plays.

This program was adapted from the audio from a Public Art Piece called ‘Meantime  in Greenwich’ produced by David Clark in 2012. The installation consisted of twenty-four sundials installed throughout Sir Sandford Fleming Park in Halifax, accompanied by twenty-four stories about the mysterious nature of time (that  could be played on your phone or mp3 player), and twenty-four AR virtual sculptures  that could be accessed through a free iPhone app. The work celebrated the ‘Father of Standard Time’; Sir Sandford Fleming,  in the park that had been his retirement home and is where he died.

This work was commissioned by the Halifax  Regional Municipality as part of celebration of the 100th anniversary of  ‘The Dingle’, a tower that Sir Sandford Fleming built in 1912 as a  commemoration of 150 years of representational government in Nova  Scotia.

Narrated by Neil Thompson

This exploration of the world of dreams, both human and animal, takes us into some dark places in the forests of our minds. Animal dream  researchers are challenged by revolutionaries and things have not turned out well at the annual CKDU potluck. This is audio art in retrograde on  the dark side of your radio dial.

Performers: Maeve Mulroy, Dave Marcotte, Alexander Robia, Rafael MacDonald, David Clark, Nathan Wilson, and Mark Hines.
