This cassette is an excursion through ten
years of playing techniques and music instrument development.
"Time To Go" and "Good News" were recorded with Dave Chandler on an
eight-track in 1976, and centre round harmonium (an instrument I played from 1962), with
the remaining instruments of my own design.
I was only able to relinquish the harmonium with the creation of my Boobongs from 1981,
which offered a much reduced keyboard, but with enormous key flexibility and original
sound.
The next event in my musical development was the acquisition of a Tascam Ministudio in
1985, enabling me to pursue my musical ideas alone.
The remaining numbers comprise work with mark Williams on two soundtracks
("Macbeth" and "Victorian Values") for the "Flying Pig", a
London-based theatre group, and "The Market". "Get Ready", with Pete
Appleton, combines a 1977 harmonium recording with a 1985 treatment and Rob Woodside
completes the collection with a guitar solo.
