Programme 16 - Imagining Memu: Strange News from a Distant Star
James Greer and Neil Luck reimagine the landscape, communities, and sounds of Memu as those of a distant utopia; a prototype for a self-sustaining cultural and biological ecosystem, rotating slowly in space.
Combining James’ onsite field recordings, and Neil’s (as someone who has never set foot in Hokkaido) tour of an imagined futurist-arcadian landscape, this work takes you through, and through again a proposed strange life-cycle of Memu. The work also features the voices of Musarc choir.
First broadcast on Saturday 3rd October 2020.
