about

tho this album comes from homelessness and street it is also about liberation, about finding a voice, about freedom sounds, and about child hood times before ...

the two tracks have been developed thanks to residencies with arc stockton and celf mid-wales; stockton contemporary premiered a version of marx&angels. an early version ov this album wz played in bedlam gallery as part ov art ov protest organised by dolly sen and versions of both tracks broadcast by radiophrenia, helicotroma venice, radio borealis bergen

this album belongs to housing contains the word sing, a huge project spiralling out ov some ov our lived experiences ov homelessness. two decades in the making this body of work includes three solo theatre shows, five films, exhibition, publications, commissioned sound art (arts&heritage staff award), participation, articles, events and more

we are live theatre artistic associate where installation-theatre 'housing contains the word sing' including sound from this album premieres at the elevator festival, july 23ce.

“gobscure’s work is really like nothing else. political, emotional, theatrically daring, visually and aurally astonishing. their inner world is huge. the ideas begin small but expand outwards to wild heights. Their imagination and skill could fill our theatre ten times over.”
Jack McNamara, Live Theatre
