This is a really considerable representation of what my film The Animal Drums is about. It is beautifully mixed too, something going on here, music and poetry synthed and lapped and smothered. It’s a grand work in and of itself, and it means a lot for the film to keep life through these offshoots from its core.

Iain wrote this poem after watching the film a few times over and read it live at the whitechapel gallery at the premiere. It was pretty stunning to hear, unexpected. For it to be kept and captured here is special somehow. All thanks to dominic jaeckle for his work here, really he is making hotel into something magical and considerable
