“I read 1,052,211 words, using 4126 as research ... and ended up creating 14 spoken texts that became 14 songs; .David Lambert .

David Lambert is a Cardiff-born, Lincolnshire-based writer / musician whose creative journey took an unexpected turn. Whilst completing his second novel – a story of a mixed race, polyamorous relationship in a post WWII Cardiff – he found himself at an impasse, so he laid the novel down … Seeking inspiration he read fourteen novels in fourteen weeks, engaging, as he read, the cut-up technique made popular by William S. Burroughs, Brion Gysin and David Bowie, ending up with something completely new - fourteen unique spoken texts. Over a 14 month period David collaborated with the musicians Sean South, Stephen Hudson, Dave King, Liz Lenten, Duncan Chapman, Natalie Roe and Lucy Leland on the creation of 14 spoken texts to a range of diverse musical settings.
