With Covid-19 ravaging populations and the World trying to come to terms with lockdown reality, it seems an appropriate moment to reactivate this Platform-7 project from 2013 exploring the trauma that follows on from a sudden shocking change in circumstance.
 Day We Saw Silence: Duncan MenziesHave you ever seen it walk across a roundabout, in the morning traffic about the same pace as you... |  Day We Saw Silence: Duncan Menzies...or I, or any man, with one foot always ploughing the air?... |  Day We Saw Silence: Duncan Menzies...of those very first notes of a song, unattended... |
|---|---|---|
 Day We Saw Silence: Duncan Menzies...or seen it cut, in passing, the white cliffs in half, leaving one side luminous, one dark in harmonious melancholy – |  Day We Saw Silence: Duncan Menzies...or perhaps, like I, you have longed to see it printed on the cover of the morning papers for once... |  Day We Saw Silence: Duncan Menzies...And as the traffic lights conduct this concert,... |
 Day We Saw Silence: Duncan Menzies...our hurried feet applaud, and yet in the middle of the lonely music, the past has dressed... |  Day We Saw Silence: Duncan Menzies...this bunker-bleak auditorium softly green and red.... |  Day We Saw Silence: Duncan Menzies...And sitting in some dimly-lit room... |
 Day We Saw Silence: Duncan Menzies...years from now,... |  Day We Saw Silence: Duncan Menzies... I will write to you and reminiscence... |  Day We Saw Silence: Duncan Menzies...Have you ever seen it walk across a roundabout, in the morning traffic about the same pace as you... |
 Day We Saw Silence: Duncan Menzies...the day we saw silence. |  Day We Saw Silence: Duncan Menzies... |
