Call Back Carousel is an audio time-travelogue, a slideshow of the mind's eye - projecting Kodachrome memories directly into the listener's mind by means of sound alone.

It is a way of travelling without ever having to leave the home. A vicarious vacation for the imagination.

Pure audio escapism. Each episode is based on a found tape of a pre-recorded slideshow commentary.

Most of these tapes were made by amateur tape recording enthusiasts and hobbyist photographers of the 60s and 70s.

Their recorded commentaries would at one time have been used in conjunction with a sequence of 35mm slides but only the taped voices now remain.

The recordings themselves come from Vernon's own archive of found reel-to-reel tapes that he has collected over the past twenty years.

Using these found slideshow commentaries as a framework, a series of musical soundscapes have been created to bring the absent images to life, activating the listeners' imagination in the classic tradition of `cinema for the ears'.

It's a little like looking through a family photo album where only the hand written captions and mounting corners remain; the photographs themselves have all been removed.

The evocative rattle and clack of the projector shuffles through different slides as the fragile voices of our tour guides accompany us on a sonic journey that fractures time - and through the cracks, the past bleeds through into our present.
