The  work we produced also generated a lot of text poems, which were used, in part, to establish titles for the project’s visual pieces. From these titles, and their formulation, I began to write about some of the themes emergent in the digital archives I shared with Julia. Of a time of confusion, uncertainty and dissonance whilst driving up, down and around the east and west coasts of the USA. I was tour managing a singer-songwriter who had a new album to play. These memories began to feel familiar again after watching and digesting a lot of the documentary programmes of Adam Curtis. I kept writing. I began to assemble field recordings I’d amassed over the years; of protest marches, discordant sounds, the background hum of voices and street noise. Sounds that were unnerving, fluid and in-flux. Travel, hyper-focus, dissent, movement, dislocation, place, disassociation, re-association, waste, chaos featured heavily in my mind. I recorded myself reading the first quarter of the book, and then created a lop-sided, brain-fried soundtrack. That soundtrack I called On The Brink and released it with a ‘zine of some text and AI generated images using random words from the text.
