Additional Information

A 40-minute, 2-channel work from 1993, has been published for the first time in collaboration with Extra Normal Records.

Composed while still working in the electroacoustic studios at UEA in Norwich, it reflects on London's transformation into a neo-gothic, ultra-capitalist environment.

It's a collage/musical 'battle' between sounds (characters) the composer was interested in at the time, ranging from Sci-Fi soundtracks, Metal Machine Music, On The Corner, Mecca and The Soul Brother, The Orb, Berio and a few more, all fused together and embellished with own percussion improvisations and friends' vocal improvisations. The entire work is composed of detailed live mixes (scenes) and manipulations of the sources, recorded onto DAT.

The entire work can be heard here:
