What is the Matter in Amy Glennon?, by Sheila Davies Sumner

What is the Matter in Amy Glennon?

by Sheila Davies Sumner

supported by

Merlin Coleman A number of years ago I heard this piece on the Other Minds show on KALW and it stopped me in my tracks. It is a beautiful interweaving of poetry in a variety of spoken and sung voices with environmental sounds. It has an intimate feel that transports me to a place I find to be strangely juicy and enjoyable in its uniqueness. Favorite track: What is the Matter in Amy Glennon?.

about

Sheila Davies Sumner is a poet and radio artist known for her radio dramas such as “What is the Matter in Amy Glennon?” and “The Opponent’s Queen,” both included in this collection. What is the Matter in Amy Glennon? is an overview of the last 35 years of Davies Sumner’s audio output. Her work combines idiosyncratic texts read by a multitude of singers and voice actors with detailed sound design, found sounds, and the occasional contribution from Fred Frith and Henry Kaiser, as heard in her “avant-garde pop song,” “Static.”
