Bedtime Routines

By Edward Adam 2016
The work is an iPhone playlist consisting of five audio tracks named after the day of the week they were recorded. Each track documents the artist's youngest son as he scats a stream of consciousness of humorous abuse and put-downs at his father. A nightly act of rebellion instigated as the artist asks his son to go to bed, these series of semi-rapped slights and mocks from a 6 year old reveal both the playful humour that is key to their relationship and the boy's acumen and knowledge of his father with his choice of snipes
