Taste (How To Be Cool)

Available for over a year

Audio-makers from around the world take over The Essay to offer a series of Radio 3's innovative Between the Ears features in miniature – each inspired by one of the five senses. How To Be Cool is artist/composer Max Syedtollan’s surreal and irreverent take on the self-help genre. He narrates a guided hypnosis tape that promises to make the listener cool – but there are sinister motives lurking beneath the surface in this musical and comedic journey through the absurdities of social mores. Glasgow-based Max Syedtollan works across music, text and performance. He is particularly interested in radiophonic composition and is undertaking a PhD on its history and practice.
