In The Press
'The epic career of William Furlong is summed up in this not-to-be-missed book, a vast, brilliant anthology of transcripts from some of his most important recorded interviews with artists over the last forty years.' Mousse

'There is no better way to help inform your appreciation and understanding of an artist's work and philosophy than to hear what they themselves think about what they do. This excellent book focuses on that very point: it brings together in print some 43 artist interviews taken from one of the most impressive sound archives in the world, Audio Arts.' The Artist
