about

A spoken word album containing some of the surreal, dream-like stories from John Foxx's on-going novel about London The Quiet Man. 'The origins of the novel are firmly cinematic', says Foxx of The Quiet Man project. 'I found an old grey suit in a charity shop in the 1970s. Over the years, I got some friends to wear the suit in various locations in London. I filmed them just walking or sitting in cafes or apartments. As I did this, The Quiet Man story began to emerge. It's about London becoming overgrown, about the suit being alive somehow, and the way cities can alter us - and our memories. It's also about film', he adds. 'In the novel, The Quiet Man walks into the screen at one point. I think we all do this when we view a film, we enter into it. Participate. Travelling without moving. If that isn't magic, I don't know what is.'
