Summary: <br> Richard Crow - Radio Schreber, Soliloques for Schziophonic (extract), 20.4.2011 <br> Phantasmic voices of Radio Schreber: Richard Crow, Gabriel Séverin, Anna Teresa Scheer, Nick Couldry, Adam Bohman, Douglas Park and others who remain obscure and unknown... <br> Radio Schreber, Soliloques for Schziophonic voices investigates <br> the recurring theme of ‘hearing voices’ in sonic and literary <br> works by paying homage to Daniel Paul Schreber’s Memoirs of My <br> Nervous Illness. Written in 1903 during his second mental illness <br> at Sonnenstein Public asylum, the Memoirs detail an alternate <br> delusional world famously analysed by Freud in his Psycho-analytic <br> Notes on An Autobiographical account of a case of paranoia <br> (Dementia Paranoides) published in 1911. <br> For the centenary of Schreber’s death (and Freud’s Psychoanalytic <br> Notes), a sound performance by artist Richard Crow <br> will give voice to Schreber’s visionary text through a specially <br> created composition that will be premiered at the Freud Museum <br> London. As a continuation of his project, Imaginary Hospital <br> Radio, Richard Crow will work in collaboration with sound-poet <br> Gabriel Séverin in exploring a sonic tableaux of phantasmic and <br> disembodied voices embedded in the text as well as in its physical <br> and imaginary locations inhabited by Schreber. <br> <br> Presented by Sound Threshold. Curated by Lucia Farinati with the assistance of Rita Correddu. <br> Recorded by Colin Potter. <br>
