Natural Language w/ Kay Fabe

In her show, ‘Natural Language’ Kay Fabe uses a literary text as the basis for each show. Through a collage of selected music and audio samples she creates soundscapes to explore themes from the text.

In this episode she examines Sheila Heti's novel ‘Motherhood’ in which the narrator wrestles with the decision of whether to have children, through provocation and response, the novel reveals the philosophical and emotional implications of this choice. Kay Fabe blends excerpts from the book with music written by mothers, for mothers and about mothers; artists include, Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Peggy Seeger and Bessie Griffin.
