A note on : BBC Radio 3, Ross Sutherland & Arthur Cravan

I am very happy to be a small part of an amazing radio essay program, in ten parts, by Ross Sutherland and Melvin Rickarby, exploring the life and mythos of Arthur Cravan. Ross is extraordinary in podcast and radio broadcasting, as in all his works, I’ve known and worked with Ross for 8 years now, he really is a special human. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000dj0k

I actually talked about Cravan back in May 2013, a lot, for a commission I did, with Ross actually, on tour, called Electronic Voice Phenomena. http://www.stevenjfowler.com/evp It was perhaps the first time the really raw and nihilistic dada folk had a serious and deep affect on me, and my urge to provoke people, occasionally, in proper context. I also think I’m in the program because I boxed and have written about boxing a lot.

I pop up a few times in the program I think, here and then, but especially in this boxing episode https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m000dj0j
