dream listener: an audiobook in three movements combines excerpts of dreams and a narration of my experiences and encounters with people on the street and at the saint james drop-in centre. by turns poignant, surreal, comic and revelatory, the audiobook is a document of my experience and an original composition in itself.

a spoken text recounting a summer day along the lachine canal is superimposed onto the architectural space of the metro. the participant watches and hears the metro train coming and going, people walking and the turnstile rotating as they listen to a voice locating a memory. like a film that records the history of a particular instance of light the narration imprints into the mind of the listener and in turn becomes a memory as the voice fades into silence.
