“Thank you for calling Meridian - the straight line to your authentic self.
I am here to help you by providing you with the options that will take you forward in this programme. At each step you will be asked to make a choice.
None of these options are based on the facts of your own life. Try to be spontaneous. Choose the option that you are drawn to in the moment. Treat them as your current truth.
And remember. There are no wrong choices.”

Meridian is an interactive audio performance designed for mobile phones. It has been imagined and written through a time of isolation, when many of us have relied on the support of remote systems, seeking and listening for a deeper humanity, a more empathetic voice.
