Worthwhile Unions #5 - BWU Guest Mix

Worthwhile Unions is a radio series by Anna Clegg with a focus on meeting points. Often collaborative and pulling heavily from online sources, the series works to extract a kind of cinema of feeling, contradicting and evasive, from dense combinations of music, sound and samples.

This episode begins with a 40-minute guest mix from London-based musician BWU.

Having built a collection of live musical performances spanning 40 years, both found and recorded first-hand, BWU posits themselves as an apparition, transient and anonymous, an audience once-removed.

Revisited online and in solitude, these recorded, ripped and re-recorded audio files develop with their degradation a distinct, self-reflexive overlay of absence.
