about

The contents are a project in words and music, created in 1984. The poems of Edwin Webb are given musical settings by Edward Lee. The compositions reflect a diversity of artistic influences to generate meeting points for literature, music and theatre, in which the music itself draws upon a wide variety of contemporary classical and popular references. And unusual in this sort of venture is the fact that the musicians in the group are themselves also performers of the readings.
