Typer Madness
by
A soundtrack in the spirit of lunacy--you might think you hear black drums, evil tonails splitting, gutted wolves coaxing Armageddon--but what it really is: an Adler Satellite electric typewriter with an omnidirectional mic duct-taped to it run through a Big Muff guitar distortion pedal and a Fender Twin Reverb amp, manipulated in various ways and recorded onto mini-cassette by the author in the early dawn in L.A.
Think of That Day
The text is limited to the words spoken by Ophelia in Hamlet, though there is no reference to that character or to the play. Griffiths's novel let me tell you, which uses the same restricted vocabulary, is, by contrast, voiced by Ophelia, who tells her story up to the moment when the play is about to begin. Two chapters from the novel have appeared in Golden Handcuffs Review; the complete text will appear in 2008, published by Reality Street Editions.
