Secret Space by Benjamin Dwyer and Alison Grace Koehler
Sneezing and a Jupiter hold
in my throat
the Belgian beer awoken in the night, how often
statue of an elfin man standing on a side-slung sphere
dead wasps everywhere
rain drop on my knuckle
the paper will start to bleed
Secret Space is a collaboration between composer Benjamin Dwyer and poet Alison Grace Koehler. The resulting work features music by Benjamin Dwyer combined with poems and spoken word by Alison Grace Koehler. In response, Farpoint Recordings have produced a limited edition 40 page book, CD & DL with images by Tony Carragher. The audio CD features a performance of the music and poetry of Dwyer & Koehler, while the 40 page book containers Koehler’s poems and full colour photography by Tony Carragher throughout. The 40 page large format book (21 x 25 cms) is printed on heavy uncoated papers with the CD attached to the inside cover. The first edition of 200 copies will be launched during forthcoming live performances in the James Joyce Centre, Dublin on 7th June and Pálás, Galway on 8th June. The project has been supported by Melodium Studio Montreuil and Middlesex University London.
Secret Space is also available as a digital stream and download (with a 40 page pdf book featuring Koehler’s poems and full colour photography by Tony Carragher ) via our Bandcamp shop.
