Cairo Compression by Jude Cowan Montague and Steve Layton
These sound poems were created after four series of photographs by Jason Larkin and put together for 'The News Agents' on Resonance FM in early 2014. Readings were initially recorded in Montague's home studio before being sent to Layton for their acoustic treatment.
