Where are yer, Adam? Answer yer frigging phone!
I have had this kicking around on various websites for a while now, and keep returning to it. It consists of a late-night message, left (in error) on my answerphone, cut up and set to some audio loops.
The ethics of taking a stranger’s late-night drunken ramblings are appalling, I know, but there was something about the underlying narrative that is fascinating, and I hope I have done some justice to it in the editing (as well as giving it a bit of extra spin.)
