NOTE ON PLAYING MIDI FILES: All my MIDI works are meant to be played using the standard Microsoft GS Wavetable. Usage of any other wavetable will give unintended results. By all means experiment if you have the capability, but please be aware that what you end up with will not be what I intended!
Also, some MIDI files played on Winamp before version 5.3 (and it appears, after 5.541) will not play correctly. If you use Winamp, please up/downgrade to a version between 5.3 and 5.541 (incl), or alternatively, download this version or go here where you can download ANY version of Winamp.

Electronic minimalism. Four instruments (koto, harp, xylophone and marimba in most pieces) play repeating overlapping phrases in various time signatures, with each instrument having a different time signature to all the others. All the pieces were created using MIDI files as a starting framework, but these were not meant to be the finished works, merely a starting point for further development electronically. I subjected the MIDI output to various subtle (and some not so subtle) electronic manipulations using computer software to create the finished CD. Eventually I intend to combine all five strands, and possibly a sixth, into a sort of musical "spiral" which will last approximately 40 to 50 minutes.
