Between Ballard's Ears

JG Ballard's early fiction is full of sonorous surrealism.

Two fresh, specially commissioned, binaural adaptations of his work reveal the soundscape of one of Britain's greatest imaginations.

In TRACK 12, adapted by Brian Sibley, two men listen in to the fantastically amplified results of microsonics but a different, deadlier game is under way.

Starring:

Anton Lesser

Elliot Levey

In VENUS SMILES, adapted by Frank Cottrell Boyce, an enigmatic artist's sonic sculpture brings chaos and transformation to the luxury resort of Vermilion Sands.

A story of death and transfiguration.
