Secret Space is a collaboration between composer Benjamin Dwyer and poet Alison Grace Koehler. The resulting work features music by Benjamin Dwyer on prepared guitar combined with poems and spoken word by Alison Grace Koehler. The text is intimate, emerging out of an introspective lockdown. In response, Farpoint Recordings have produced a limited edition CD, DL & 40 page book, with images by Tony Carragher. The audio CD features a performance of the music and poetry of Dwyer & Koehler, while the 40 page book containers Koehler’s poems and full colour photography by Carragher throughout. The 21 x 25 cms large format book is printed on heavy uncoated papers with the CD attached to the inside cover. This first edition is limited to just 200 copies.
Recent live performances of Secret Space in the James Joyce Centre, Dublin and Pálás, Galway played to full houses and were enthusiastically welcomed. The project has been supported by Nicole Rourke from Anna Livia Creative, Melodium Studio Montreuil and Middlesex University London.
