about

Melbourne writer Dean Kyte announces the release of his new CD audiobook, “The Spleen of Melbourne: Prose Poetry & Fiction”.

Featuring 12 audio tracks written, narrated, and sound-designed by Dean Kyte, “The Spleen of Melbourne” represents an exciting new direction in his Artisanal Desktop Publishing methodology. The CD and packaging (including a bonus 24-page sleeve booklet) have also been hand-designed by Dean and feature his noirish black-and-white photographs of Melbourne, shot on glorious Kodak film.

lyrics

‘This is the city. Melbourne, Victoria. It’s a big one. Second-largest city in Australia; it’s still growing. It’s a big animal with a big appetite. Five million people. There are five million stories in this naked city. The stories you’re about to hear are true. Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent.

‘Hell, nobody’s innocent.

‘There’s a bilious melancholy, a choleric sorrow to Melbourne behind the magic mystery of the real. That’s the Spleen of Melbourne. It’s Paris-on-the-Yarra, a place of love and crime. And beneath its Parisian underbelly, the lonely experience of fugitive, abortive romance feels like the obscure workings of some organized crime.

‘And that’s my business. I live here. I’m a flâneur.’

“The Spleen of Melbourne: Prose Poetry & Fiction”. A new CD audiobook available from deankyte.com.
