"I'm almost constantly listening to the radio as I work. Primarily Radios 1, 3 and 4. I love the transitory nature of radio: a DJ is a craftsman whose
work lasts three hours and evaporates instantly into space. The pathos of lost Ìýbroadcasts was key to this A-Level exam piece, which looks at America during its technological adolescence. The Chatterton-esque figure on top of the building has been carried into obscurity by his unfulfilled life in a sun-baked, Ìýisolated American city; miles from anywhere significant and with no link to posterity. A quiet passing in an undocumented corner of America."
