Derek Jarman was always an inspirational Renaissance figure, whose solidarity and commitment grounded his intense imagination. Here we can see for the first time how this remarkable conjunction of forces was present in his earliest work, and in a medium we did not associate with him—until now. – John Akomfrah

Written in 1971, Jarman’s Billboard is a surreal, fabular, lyrical work—a literary fairy-tale, acid-trip, road movie hybrid—the energies and details of which influenced much of his later work across media. The story serves as a foundational text, laying out many of the themes, images, and styling of his work in painting, film and design whilst also being haunted by the then emerging ecological crisis in its juxtaposition of the beauty of nature with the reckless consumption of modernity.

The House Sparrow Press edition features facsimile images of the story’s handwritten drafts from Jarman’s archive and is comprehensively informed by a vivid foreword from Philip Hoare, a deeply researched afterword by Jarman scholar Declan Wiffen, and a warm memoir by artist Michael Ginsborg, a close friend of Jarman’s throughout the period of the story’s writing.

In this blown-away piece of Jarman magic, a fantasy / fable about how to see differently and a cornucopic visual version of the psyche, Derek Jarman casually reconstructs notions of empire, the road trip, and the mid-twentieth century journey of the soul. Trippy, light, fantastic. – Ali Smith

The Resonance broadcast is introduced by a collage of comments from the publication’s launch at the London Review Bookshop (03.11.22), with contributions from (in order of appearance) Gareth Evans, Declan Wiffen and So Mayer, alongside excerpts from Benedict Drew’s Music for Bookshops. Listen to the launch event in full here (with thanks to Claire Williams and all at the Shop).

Derek Jarman (1942-1994) is one of the most influential figures in 20th century British culture. Best known as an iconoclastic filmmaker and polemical gay activist who channeled unparalleled energy into painting, writing, gardening and all manner of cultural activity, he was one of the primary catalysts for a generation of artists and filmmakers whose work is only now being fully recognised for its dark, subversive imagination and fluidity across media. Amongst his films, Jarman is particularly recognised for Jubilee (1977), arguably the first punk movie, Caravaggio (1986), and Blue (1993), a moving memoir about his degeneration from AIDS.

Formed in 2016 to publish A Sparrow’s Journey: John Berger reads Andrey Platonov, House Sparrow Press—an imprint of Prototype Publishing—is, in the best and multiple senses of the word (it is hoped) an ‘occasional’ venture. Based in Hackney, London, it seeks to publish creatively committed, collaborative works both at a time that is relevant and for reasons that feel compelling. It is drawn to manuscripts of hybridity, titles that might elude conventional publication over concerns of form or scale. It also believes in a modesty of style (but never of ambition) and a fecundity of ideas. Its moniker (drawn from its first venture) celebrates a creature that was once ubiquitous and yet is now threatened. The idea of a bird inhabiting and inspiring a place of residence also feels resonant. This is what the best books do too. There are wings at work here. In short, Emily Dickinson was right (again) when she observed that ‘hope is the thing with feathers.’ House Sparrow Press comprises publisher Jess Chandler and editor Gareth Evans.

With a title that descends from a well-known passage in the Tibetan Book of the Dead, may it come that the sounds of the bardo shall be known as one’s own sounds, the piece opens with an improvised DIY ventilator that fails to sustain my bravewaves, waves that eventually flatline into a heavily decomposed electromagnetic soup.

Then comes a freely associative consideration of the Beefheart Affliction; the dangerous game of creating schizophonic monsters; the compost heap of radio’s intrinsic entropy and instability; the creative possibilities released through the fractures of a broken subjectivity; a synthetic voice ripened, to the point of bursting; a piece of flesh that we shall call Figgy Pudding; a bit of brain beneath a fingernail; a scratched radio thanatophony; and a pair of eyes reflecting a Hegelian Night that becomes —- awful.

Gregory Whitehead: Artist, writer, radiomaker, text/sound poet, singer of tales, playwright and media philosopher. Since his first tape and radio experiments made during the 1980s, he has created a long list of radio plays, hybrid documentaries and acoustic adventures for the BBC, Radio France, Deutschland Radio, Australia’s ABC, NPR and other broadcasters. Often interweaving documentary and fictive materials into playfully unresolved narratives, his aesthetic is distinguished by a deep philosophical commitment to radio as a medium for poetic navigation and free association. In his voice and text-sound works, he explores the tension between a continuous pulse and the eruption of sudden discontinuities, as well as linguistic entropy and decay.

Whitehead’s plays have won numerous awards, including a Prix Italia for Pressures of the Unspeakable, a Prix Futura BBC Award for Shake, Rattle, Roll and a Sony Gold Academy Award for The Loneliest Road, which was described by the jury as “a master class in sound”. His 2005 BBC production of Normi Noel’s play No Background Music, featuring Sigourney Weaver, also received a Sony Gold Academy Award. On the Shore Dimly Seen, a “boneyard cantata” enquiry into no-touch torture, was short-listed for the 2015 Prix Italia.

Whitehead has experimented and collaborated within acoustic theatre, puppet theatre, dance theater, installations and mixed media cabaret. In film, he wrote the script and played the main character Walter Sculley in the 2003 docufiction, The Bone Trade, later becoming the centerpiece for an installation at Mass MOCA. Over the past several years, he has contributed voiceworks and sound to two experimental documentaries: Awareness and Lift Up Your Voices, by Arttu Nieminen.

Co-editor of the pioneering anthology Wireless Imagination: Sound, Radio and the Avant-Garde (MIT Press), his philosophical essays and hybrid speculative fictions have appeared in a wide variety of publications. A selection of writings has been published as Almanach de plaies insensées. Since 2012, he has published online exploratory researches within the context of an ever-mutating Desperado Philosophy.
