The Tallowmere Annual is a unique collection of words, sound, and
ink paintings by musician and artist Keaton Henson. This hardback,
special limited edition, mixed-media book tells the fragmented
story of a town that never existed, Tallowmere, seemingly empty,
showing only outlines of living things, words once spoken, and the
sounds of distant mourning. The first of its kind, the book's front
cover holds an MP3 pack embedded with an audio jack for headphones
and sound controls. Readers can plug in and listen to a recorded
score created specially by Keaton as an accompaniment to reading
the book and viewing the artwork. Visit www.welcometotallowmere.com
