Play Size Mins To Touch the Wild Silver Butterfly of Spring op.48
(A Homage to Morton Subotnick)

Part one 13Mb 15:11 Inspired by the electronic works of Morton Subotnick (especially "Until Spring") the source material was the MIDI file of my 1st Piano Sonata 2nd mvt, fed into the Waldorf synthesiser which was programmed to produce a very low frequency "pulsed" tone. The output was then manipulated on the computer using pitch adjustment and other simple effects to build up phrases of sound which were then multi-tracked and overlapped to produce the final piece.

Part two 13Mb 15:36 The second part is based on the first, but reversed, altered and rearranged, with a "Subotnickian" rhythm added towards the end. Try to listen to this piece without any background noises - there are some very quiet sections in it. This is my homage to the best composer of electronic music who has had a massive influence on me for over 30 years (doesn't like answering his emails though - and after two years has still not acknowledged or said thank you for the CD of this piece which I sent to him! Morton, you come across as arrogant and underserving of the praise I heaped up on you. Show a little more respect for your fans. I hope you read this and consider how you come across to people who look up to you for inspiration. But then again you probably won't ever see this will you? You didn't write it. Oh, and happy 75th birthday! (April 14th 2008))
