YOU DON'T KNOW

Welcome to episode 9 of YOU DON'T KNOW. We are back after a long break with a new episode! A recording of an essay written by David in response to the METODE project’s second callout, ‘Being, Bathing and Beyond’. The essay takes place in the bath, and forms a meditation on the themes of grief, memory and portraiture, and how our experiences of bathing tie in. You can read more about METODE here, and you can read David’s essay from volume two here. You can find our new boxing fanzine, The Spit Bucket here. You can find Lizzy on Instagram here.

Welcome to episode 3 of YOU DON'T KNOW. This episode features seven short stories written by David, all of which are read by Lizzy.

Welcome to episode 2 of YOU DON'T KNOW. This episode is an audio response to a project in which Lizzy created text responses to 10 miniature sculptures made by David, using lines from his poetry collection 'Contained' printed onto acetate. The project represents the back-and-forth non-conversation between two minds tangled in looping thoughts. This is mirrored in the sound, comprised of rhythmic spooling, repetition and pulsating loops. If it's possible for you to do so we recommend following the episode transcript which contains the images that the texts were written in response to. This episode is accompanied by a hand-bound 'art book' available from our web shop along with a more affordable paperback version. The recording is followed by a discussion between series producers Lizzy and David Turner about how the collaboration on this episode worked. The first two 'knots' from this series first appeared in the anthology PROTOTYPE 2. A full episode transcript can be downloaded here. Find Lizzy on Twitter here. More audio from David here.

Welcome to the first episode of YOU DON'T KNOW. This episode features a recording of a short story written by Lizzy Turner.

The recording is followed by a discussion between series producers Lizzy and David about how the collaboration on this episode worked. Every-Few-Weeks is accompanied by a poster of the text which can be bought here. A full transcript can be downloaded here. Find Lizzy on Twitter here. More audio from David here.
