about

This started as an experiment with a multi-track tape recorder and a volume pedal; to build up a chord by playing different notes of a chord on different tracks of the tape. When I recorded this interpretation of the piece, with singing bowls and rain stick added, it has to be said I wasn't in the best frame of mind - at the time the music reflected a sense of being very lost, reaching out in the darkness for something that may not be there at all. Now, oddly enough, I find it quite a comforting and familiar piece, with none of its former implications. It's still all about reaching out for something that may not be there. EADGBE.
