MORE POETRY IS NEEDED: ODE ON A GRECIAN BOY

Pictured are three miniature sculptures found by archaeologists at a Mycenaean acropolis. I spotted and photographed them over the summer while in Athens. The heads date from the 17th century BCE. These boys have been around for some time. 

Join me as we traverse the millennia soundtracked and serenaded by work inspired by the ancient beauty of Greece

#10 More Poetry is Needed: Ode on a Grecian Boy

In “Tom’s House”, a new audio-drama from artist and writer Jacob Dwyer, we listen to the meanderings of someone who’s returned home for the first time in 15 years. Walking up Haddon Drive he spots the house of an old friend, Tom. The front door is open, so he goes inside. Wandering around the empty Tudor cottage - making cups of tea, rearranging CD collections and zoning in on the minutiae of domestic space - he ruminates on ideas of emotional intimacy, friendship and grief.

"Hello? Hello?" echoes Jacob's voice, searching for a connection inside empty rooms and memories. As we move through the story, the house shifts slowly back to the realm of the living, while upending ideas gestate in Jacob's mind, like bodies floating within bodies. "THE BABY IS LEGIT UPSIDE DOWN!"

With his field recording equipment, much like his trusty Canon HF10 camera, Jacob evokes the cosmic: at one moment zooming in on microscopic dust particles of dead skin moving through the dank air in murmuration, whilst panning out to catch a poetic, universal overview the next.

"Tom’s House" incorporates voice, foley, field recordings and an original soundtrack composed by K. Freund, Kareem Lotfy, Zuza Banasińska and Jacob Oostra.
