CHARLENE FROM BIG DATA
And Other Stories


ROSE BIGGIN & KEIR COOPER (text)

Music by Olly Sellwood - Performed by  
Peter Falconer & the Zollner-Roche duo

Surface Press (2025)


Six pieces of music scored for voice, accordion, and clarinet. Each composition is made of an original microfiction (short story) by Rose Biggin & Keir Cooper, set to music by Olly Sellwood.

Each story is separate, the collection crossing between fictional events, stretched language, interventions in systems of living, and art-historical fable.

Heather and Eva recorded by Dave Holmes at Lightship 95.
Peter recorded himself at home.
Produced, edited and mixed by Olly Sellwood.
Mastered by Grant Leslie.
Album design by Keir Cooper.
Photography by Ash Sealy.
Released by Surface Press

(Album comes with booklet containing the text of the stories.)



"I think everything got out of hand when the smoothies started getting friendly. My carton of non-dairy milk substitute had a cartoon glass of non-dairy milk substitute with a moustache and three friendly white drops issuing from the top, and a speech bubble that said, put me in your bones!!!!...."
