Counsellors of fraud created by Matt Chapman Jones & Dai Bowe.

"We began with the text itself and trying to recreate ideas and images from it sonically. Our starting point were the fireflies flitting about, also evoking tongues of flame and the deceiving voices of the fraudulent counsellors. We then focussed on the structure of the story of Ulysses being told - the guitars and the spoken text - which grows and grows, and then fades away to just leave the trickster voices in the pit."
