Boosey and Hawkes

collapse expand iconDescription

Inspired by J. Edgar Hoover, who directed the F.B.I. from 1924 until his death in 1972. Hoover's grim, threatening, yet darkly comic personality is ever-present in this work. Incorporates pre-recorded sound samples of Hoover's voice, an interesting twist on the director's wiretapping.
