New Works For Radio

'In Search of Captain Cat of Llareggub.' Inspired by the fictional blind character of Captain Tom Cat in Dylan Thomas’ classic 'Under Milk Wood,' this sound composition by Colin Black unearths the captain’s secret soundworld that is based both on actual location recordings and constructed dreamscapes. It is a world full of the lyrical, sonic charm of Welsh fishing villages, nuanced from Captain Cat’s melancholic and nostalgic yearning for the past. In a sense we are travelling along sonic pathways into memories that dissolve into acoustic dreams; as in Thomas’ work, ‘the long drowned nuzzle up’ against our ear and tease the living, in this new auditory experience.
