AudioBook of Disquiet: Open Call
Deadline Sunday 5th February
Open Call: AudioBook of Disquiet
I was already feeling uneasy. All at once, the silence stopped breathing.
The infinite day suddenly splintered like steel. I crouched like an animal on the table, my hands useless claws gripping the smooth table top. A cruel light had entered every corner and every soul, and a voice from a nearby mountain fell from on high, a shout ripping the silken walls of the abyss. My heart stopped. My throat pounded. The only thing my mind was aware of was an inkblot on a piece of paper.
Inspired by the richly descriptive and non-linear narrative of Fernando Pessoa's most extensive and protracted prose work The Book of Disquiet, Seth Guy and SoundFjord will - over the forthcoming months - collaborate to create a sonic art-enhanced audiobook.
A book acknowledged by critics as "the most beautiful diary of the (20th) Century", The Book of Disquiet reflects on the distance between the loftiness of the author's thoughts and the humdrum reality of his everyday life.
Seth Guy and SoundFjord invite those working in audio (of any genre) to contribute to this project. We are looking for perceptive contributions from participants that will respond to selected texts from the Book of Disquiet and provide an absorbing soundtrack to the narration. Contributions by participants to the project will be selected on artistic merit and their sensitivity and creative response to the material.
At this present time all you need do is contact us with an expression of interest. After the closing date a selected text will be sent out to each interested party.
Send your name and contact details including email, phone number and address to:
Deadline for expression of interest is: SUNDAY 5 February 2012.
