ANATHEMA

on Third Programme

A diatribe against the world in general and women in particular by PHILIP O'CONNOR with electronic sound by MARC WILKINSON
Production by DOUGLAS CLEVERDON
In this experiment in the fusion of words with electronic music, the sounds are derived from the words alone and reinforce the poet's diatribe. The poem itself is often ambiguous; sometimes it deals with specific matters, at other times it is vague, even surrealistic. The setting accentuates these changes of mood, sometimes stressing the normality of a passage, sometimes aiming at horrible sounds of mutation as though of a radioactive wasteland.
