A live experimental lament to mark the closure of Quantum Ghost. Performed by Libita Sibungu and her collaborators Demelza Toy Toy, Jol Thomson and Hannah Catherine Jones, the work comprises field recordings, theremin and live speech.

Titled ‘My voice is so deep it’s buried in the ground’, this new, hour-long iteration of an electronic soundscape stems from Clayton’s long-standing interest in the lament: a song, piece of music, or poem expressing grief or sorrow.

Due to unforeseen circumstances this event has now been cancelled.
