William S Burroughs recordings made with Brion Gysin (credited with the
invention of the cut up technique) have been released by the British
Library. The 23 audio recordings are largely previously unreleased,
sourced from the library's audio archive. The release centres around a
42 minute recording of Burroughs in Liverpool from 1982, where he reads
excerpts of
The Place Of Dead Roads,
Nova Express and the story
Twilight's Last Gleamings.
The CD also includes 1960s recordings of Gysin performing his permutated
poems, plus home recordings made in Paris by Burroughs and Gysin in
1970. More details
