The Untitled Dog Project
The Untitled Dog Project is a special commission with Reggie Chamberlain King. Reggie will create 20 sonic portraits of dogs he has owned, loved, walked, imagined, heard of, rehomed, remembered, read about, and fabricated for artistic purposes. Using a combination of prose, poetry, original music, and field recordings, it will fuse the light absurdities of Ivor Cutler with the deep insights of Mary Oliver to produce a unique work for the poetry jukebox.
