Collaborations | Collectress | Mondegreen
Coined by Sylvia Wright in an essay in Harper’s Magazine in Nov 1954, a Mondegreen is the mishearing or misinterpretation of a phrase as result of a near homophony, in a way that gives it new meaning.
This recording has been made with four sets of ears making four sets of collaborative hearings and mishearings, and shaping together the paths that flow from them.
