Anthony Burgess

• DOUBLE LP SET

RECORD 1: EXCERPTS FROM THE ANTHONY BURGESS CASSTTE ARCHIVE (1964-1993)
RECORD 2 CONVER SATIONAL REMIXES, CURATED BY ALAN DUNN (2018-2019)

An intimate audio archive of the British novelist, coupled with a 18-track sonic portrait of Burgess by invited artists and musicians.

Anthony Burgess's second wife Liana carried a cassette recorder with her at all times to capture her life with the author and their son Andrew. This extraordinarily intimate audio archive of over 1,000 cassettes now sits with the International Anthony Burgess Foundation and artist Alan Dunn has been granted access to select excerpts from it and curate sonic conversations from others. LP ONE contains the very first and last known recordings of Burgess's voice alongside domestic incidents, rehearsals and answering machine messages, while LP TWO invites 23 artists and musicians to remix the rare material into a unique Burgess portrait far beyond A Clockwork Orange.
