about

This album was inspired by a draft synopsis of a book being written by Richard Hall (The Hopeless University: Intellectual work at the end of The End of History). The synopsis contained a breakdown of the content, concepts and themes for each of its seven chapters. We found the that the overarching subjects/concepts of these chapters lent themselves to a sound/music realisation; so that's what we did.

The book is available as an open access publication at mayflybooks.org?p=302
