Listening to James Joyce read a few pages from it aloud seems to open up the entire text to new possibilities. It is a book that's meant to be heard, after all. This is something Finnegans Wake has needed for a long time, a true Here Comes Everybody recording. Participants are free to add whatever music or effects they want and interpret the text through their reading however they see fit. I have signed on to create a recording of one of my favorite chapters, the "Inquest of Yawn" (Book III, chapter 3). The project will feature various artists, musicians, and other daring creative folks who will each record one of the book's 17 chapters in full. Featuring established as well as up-and-coming artists, Waywords and Meansigns will offer a version of Joyce's work that is stimulating, accessible, and enjoyable to even the most casual of readers and listeners. The book will be divided into 17 sections, and there will be a different music/reader/performance group assigned to each section. Waywords and Meansigns is an upcoming audio version of James Joyce's famous text, Finnegans Wake, to be read in its entirety. Some extremely ambitious Finnegans Wake fans have organized a project to create a new audio recording of the text in its entirety.
