Diana Quick

Episode 4 of 4

Murray Lachlan Young invites actor Diana Quick to combine her favourite sounds and most passionately held ideas in unexpected ways.

A series which encourages guests to "think with the heart and feel with the intellect." In this final programme, Murray Lachlan Young invites actor Diana Quick to combine her favourite sounds and her most passionately held ideas in unexpected ways by feeding them into an electronic device. Murray has not prepared an interview but, instead, he and Diana respond spontaneously to what the device returns to them in the form of short audio snippets. Neither of them knows which of the sounds, music and speech the device will select, nor how it will combine them. The idea is to throw up connections that might not have occurred to guests otherwise, and to encourage them to think and feel about their concerns and passions in a different way. Diana's sounds include an air raid siren, eggs being beaten in a bowl, waves lapping on a Suffolk beach, nightingales singing and foxes barking. The unpredictability increases as the device introduces some audio of its own, drawn from the 成人快手 Radio archives using keywords and phrases suggested by Diana as search terms - including the women's movement, nuclear power, honesty and friendship. This mix of archive creates even more unusual associations between apparently disparate material, and prompts a conversation ranging from dancing pigs and unexpected Indian roots, to the future of feminism and the quest for serenity. Producer: Adam Fowler An Overtone production for 成人快手 Radio 4.
