Piece Description
This collage mixes printing press rhythms and spoken word with interview scraps that would usually be edited out of a journalistic radio segment, including material that draws attention to the technical and interpersonal machinations of reporting.

Special thanks to Cedric Peyronnet for providing the original printing press audio clips.
