Mueum continues to generate things beyond itself as a piece of fiction. Thanks primarily to Dominic Jaeckle it has to be said. This sonic piece for Montez radio is a unique blend of an interview Eley Williams very generously conducted with me on the book, some of my street ramblings and a reading of the most modernist chapter in the book when the protagonist is fogged up in the reading room. All has been stitched in a singular piece with some David Antin in there, and soundscapes too. And a video film of this also, below, which also contains poems I wrote while in the museum, never before published.

“BIG DOOM ABOVE ME is a patchwork quilt of readings and field recordings anchored in SJ Fowler's debut novella MUEUM (https://tenementpress.com/M-U-E-U-M). Introduced by a brief exchange between Fowler and author Eley Williams, the broadcast recording features a reading from the text—a suite of unpublished poems (from a pamphlet entitled THE MUSEUM OF DEBT)—and concludes with a brief lecturette from the author on (and around) a condition called "museumitis."

BIG DOOM ABOVE ME is scored by Yamachan (https://soundcloud.com/yamachantapes) and was produced and mixed for the radio by Tenement Press. First broadcast on Montez Press Radio (22/09/22).”
