James Joyce is in the house this week, as we talk to Derek Pyle, the curator of the Waywords and Meansigns project, an ongoing quest to set Joyce’s Finnegans Wake to music.
Derek gave us a 30-minute taster of the third edition of the project, which goes live on May 4. You can check it out here: http://www.waywordsandmeansigns.com/
For those Joyce-averse listeners, we have added a short section of other, non-Wake sonic explorations to sweeten the stew.
