Samuel Beckett: “Molloy I & II”

From the album “…the Whole Thing’s Coming out of the Dark” (2000)

An imaginative recording based on three texts by arch-modernist writer Samuel Beckett (Molloy, Company, and L’Image).

Beckett produced a number of radio plays among his literary works, and he always had an acute concern for the sonic dimension of his writing.   The title of this album is taken from a phrase he used to describe the uncanny quality of radiophonic listening.  Beckett’s disembodied voices sound out the vast, unlit spaces of the existential condition.


Played 220 time(s).
