Description
Worthwhile Unions is a radio series by Anna Clegg with a focus on meeting points. Often collaborative and pulling heavily from online sources, the series works to extract a kind of cinema of feeling, contradicting and evasive, from dense combinations of music, sound and samples.
Made in collaboration with clothing designer Will Bond, this second episode provides the internal soundtrack to Siverstream School, a semi-fictional, placeless High School loosely constructed from photographic material found on online archive Classorama.
Weaving through Disney soundtracks, 80s prom songs, mid-western emo, TikTok ambient and US high school game marches, a sonic internal monologue (of sorts) cogitates patriotism, style, memory, institution and the emotional, nauseating vortex of adolescence.
