RADIO SCHREBER, SOLILOQUIES FOR SCHIZOPHONIC VOICES

"Radio Schreber, Soliloquies for Schizophonic voices" investigated the recurring theme of 'hearing voices' in sonic and literary works by paying homage to Daniel Paul Schreber's "Memoirs of My Nervous Illness" (Denkwürdigkeiten einen Nervenkranken). Written at Sonnenstein Public asylum and published in 1903, the Memoirs detail and map an alternate delusional world.
For the centenary of Schreber's death, this sound performance gives voice to Schreber's visionary text through a specially created composition that premiered at the Freud Museum, London. As a continuation of his project "Imaginary Hospital Radio", Richard Crow explores a sonic tableaux of phantasmic and disembodied voices embedded in the text as well as in its physical and imaginary locations inhabited by Schreber.

A performance curated by Lucia Farinati with the assistance of Rita Correddu
Recorded and engineered by Colin Potter of Nurse with Wound
