Track title: Rachmaninov
Duration: 5’38
Artists: Alan Dunn & Jeff Young
Date: 2004-5
Alan Dunn and Jeff Young spent three months in Woolton, South Liverpool, producing the
audio work ‘36 Compositions for a Woolton Jukebox’.
Operating from an observation and
listening post on the tenth floor of a local tower block, they struggled with the
fragmentation of the neighbourhood and gradually became the conductors for a diverse range of sounds and weather; the woman brought up on Tolstoy, one of the original Quarrymen, the church where John first met Paul in 1957, the son of Bob Paisley and the woman who longed to smash glass.
