Landscape II (13:40)
30 Oct.'81 - Chingford.
I must have been listening to Brian Eno when I did this one. I
remember the bemused look on the faces of a couple of friends when I played this to them - I knew I was on the right track. This later turned into the bones of Beach ('85).

Peter & Roland (part one) (61:11)
11 Nov.'85,

Peter & Roland (part three) (56:26)
28 Jan.'86 - York.
In collaboration with John Godfrey.
The original idea for this was for percussion and synthesiser, to be played by the composer and percussionist Peter Garvey - hence the name, but that didn't work out and we realized it to tape. Although there are a few minutes recorded on the end of part 1, there is no part two. Having decided to realize the piece we recorded parts 1 & 3 and then found that we couldn't recreate part 2 to our satisfaction and so it was shelved.
Part one was first performed on the 15 Nov. '85, and the complete piece (1&3) first performed 15 March '86, as part of the York Spring Festival of Contemporary Music.

Drone (1.2) (excerpt for CD) (19:58)
17 Feb.'91 - Chingford.
Originally recorded as the backing tape for Cairn ('86), a sort of
Bagpipe concerto, this is the '91 CD remix of the revised version re-recorded for Son of Cairn ('90) for the ensemble Icebreaker.
Although a more or less single pitch, this has 16 tracks of thick
lush sound. A pleasant noise.
