I was going to run the last of the Stay readings today but after being blown away yesterday by Karina's vid I thought I'd post the "Touching Fire" reading she used. There a 90-second context-setting introduction, then a 9-minute reading. (Below is the direct link to the .mp3 for those of you who don't/can't use Flash.) Enjoy.

Next week I'll do the last Stay reading, and after that I'll tackle Ammonite and Slow River and Always. But I'll leaven it with a few songs.
By the way, thanks to Dave (who is always prodding me to keep up, keep up--I'd still be using a pencil, probably, if not for him) you can now subscribe to the Nicola Griffith Podcast to listen to all my audio on your iPod (or whatever). Have fun.

I just listened to this again. Because playing it on an iPod loop for 10 hours straight while I walked or rode a bus around Vancouver or sat on a bench imagining a vid were not enough. And then 18 more hours while I sliced and matched to music and images also weren't enough.
ReplyDeleteThe curious thing is that after so much time spent together, the reading has now morphed in my head. The parts that I used for the vid, I hear with music and see the flicker of images in my mind. It's so strange! While the ones I didn't use, are as they are. Beautiful but untouched. I wonder if I can play with them later.
karina, well, that's what art does, it changes things. And I'm talking about your art now, the vid.
