If Every Day Was a Season is a collection of interconnected prose, poetry, academic extracts and other forms of writings which explore themes of individual and collective trauma through moments of change and renewal.
Topics include family ties and loss processing, rural isolation and ecological concern, field recording and the song, the art world and literature, and conceptualising the creative process – all looked at through a postmodern lens smudged with black humour and a playful hopefulness.
At the heart of the collection is a celebration of the land, especially Cornwall, and how nature and the seasons mark change and help to process it for both the local people and wildlife.
In an alternate world, figures from music such as Fiona Apple, Brian Eno and Aphex Twin weave in and out of the collection, alongside cultural characters of note like Andy Warhol, Barbara Hepworth, Andrei Tarkovsky and others.
"This is going to be a work of fiction. And this is for you. I can only describe it as feeling like simultaneous melodies playing at different speeds."
If Every Day Was a Season is a limited edition, 96-page saddle-stitched A5 pamphlet and is the latest release by Ryan Hooper for Heavy Cloud Press in 2023.
The pamphlet comes with an exclusive CDr of If Every Day Was a Season – a longform sound and field work composition that originally aired on the CAMP Radio show Lapsus memoriae on 6 May 2023. This release includes the full 30 minute piece on a hand-stamped CDr, plus a download code which includes it separated into four parts.
