about
One Dose not improve on Beethoven, Nor should one try, nor did I try. so what are these then ? well, exercises, pure and simply, to learn about the studio - the Drum Studio, as was. I had time on my hands - heady early days, everything was up in the air and nothing really fallen back to earth yet. I had Identified 4 strands to my work, The Drum music, Dm; the Metal Percussion growing alongside that, Electronic music, Em and Phase music Phm, nothing in their familiar order yet. However something was still to come, something was in the air. I was recording what I had started with, Drums, then metal which had been with me for ever but I had never split the two. Then studio electronics, led me inevitably to a notional 'pure electronics' and then tape looping / phasing, time consuming in a very basic studio, but pioneering to one quite new to it. I had stopped drawing almost as soon as I had been able to get a studio together in autumn 06, in 07 I still expected to draw again but I needed this so much more. I had anted to compose since school, since moving to music college - since being obsessed with Modern Classical music all these years - could I do that. I was analysing what I did to the great man and a passage in it would lead to 'Antis.' A new kind of music, an electro Acoustic music, a Classical music - or sketches toward that, that I called - Music for Strings, electronics and Percussion, MSEP. This as a summation of my work so far.
