| Ideas Now and Then |
1986 | 4:38 4:43 |
Ideas - I seemed to be running out of them by 1986, which is probably why I stopped my musical experiments at this time. Here's the last two pieces I created for 15 years. They're actually not that bad, but I wasn't impressed at the time. |
| Supernova | 1980 | 13:00 | Another attempt at the Nova piece, but bigger. I wasn't happy with the results; I was trying to push the old Korg further than it could go. |
| Music for Saxophone, guitar & Synthesiser | 1980 | 10:00 | Extremely silly free-form piece, with my brother Colin on saxophone. Half-way through the piece an ice-cream van parked right outside the house playing 'Whistle while you work', so we just incorporated the tune into our improvisations without even pausing for breath. (Somebody wrote to me recently saying he really liked this piece, which astonished me - I only put it here to embarrass my brother!) |
| Anger | 1986 | 12:25 | This was composed by a computer program using fractal mathematics on the Yamaha computer (see - I'm always experimenting!) but since it used the computer's primitive built-in sound chip instead of the excellent FM synthesiser, the sounds produced were quite limited. |
| Abstratus | 1983 | 6:35 | A free-form electronic piece created on the Crumar Stratus synth. Originally part of the Rebus Suite. |
| Space Walk | 1983 | 7:15 | Another ex-Rebus Suite free-form electronic piece created on the Crumar Stratus synth. |
| Metamorphosis | 1979 | 23:55 | The idea was to make a piece of music that changed only gradually - 'metamorphosed' as it went along. It turned out to be a long meandering piece which goes nowhere. Well - almost. Not one of my best works. |
