Radio Papesse

The composers Christine Cornwell and Jago Thornton bounce off on their musical ideas and on what bats might hear while flying inside a room or a chapel. They even muse on the secret afterlife of sound-waves and on the working of their musical brain.
Their introspection  – during an interview – are set into a retro-SciFi sound-scape, depicting the creative human brain as a giant nervous clockwork.
