Colliding Lines #12 - Music For Books

Colliding Lines present live sessions, cross-genre collaborations and left-field recordings drawn from the London, UK and international experimental scenes; a long-form love letter to recorded audio as soundtrack, as sound art and as storyteller.

This month, we speak to producer, DJ and designer Mehmet Aslan on his radio project Music For Books: an evolving, ever-inventive platform examining the listener relationship to reading through curated personal soundtracks. Each episode invites the audience to imagine different ways of thinking about sound and literature, and we’re delighted to present two episodes here – the first concerning ‘A Wandering Poem‘ by Christian Marques and Angharad Hengyu Owen, and a second based upon ‘Fierce Invalids Home From Hot Climates‘ by Tom Robbins.
