The Poems
With the series commissioned, we - the production team at NinetyFour19 - immediately set ourselves a unique challenge; we wanted to start each episode, setting up the subject and posting challenging questions, without employing a traditional "presenter". We kicked some ideas around; something daring and ear-grabbing... provocative and thought-provoking. Before long, we settled on the plan; we'd write totally unique pieces of poetry, set them to a brand new music soundtrack, and record them using award-winning actors and sound designers. Conscious that you may not have the time to listen to the entire series, here are the eight pieces, back to back. We're very proud of, firstly, these unique pieces of audio production, but secondly, and more importantly, the message conveyed throughout the pieces. They're designed to challenge the listener to asses his or her own opinions and perspective on the climate fight. Enjoy! 1. "Paradoxical Thing" 2. "Where Do We Go?" 3. "What Are We Waiting For?", 4. "Full Speed, Full Sound" 5. "Floods/Drought" 6. "Olympic-Sized Question" 7. "Hole in One" 8. "Adapt". Words and music by Jonathan Overend. Performed by Kenny Blyth and Cecilia Appiah. Mixed by Lee Sparey at Grooveyard Studios, London.
