Yes, massive thanks to Victoria for great discussion. I also wish I could have added more!

It would mean hooking up at a specific date and time to produce a new sound work, collectively - a collective performative piece relating to live news reading (live, but I would also be recording it). It would involve being available for a specific time and date, sometime over the summer - the exact play of this is yet to be determined, but it'd be great it anyone was interested in being a part of it - it would have a live production side to it, at Banner Repeater at some point.
