about

--Email for availabilty / price of one-off lathe-cut vinyl version--

Reduced tone-row score for electric church organ, focusing the player's attention on essential, simplified elements of pop music, and affording player and context agency so that past and present active elements are simultaneously controlling timing and meter, prompting extemporising and the finding of familiar and novel arrangements of five tones dominant in pop.

Inspired by Schoenberg's tone-row method, puirt à beul singing, and certain songs by Suicide and Billy Childish.

Part of Ecstatic Autophony Sequence: song-form performances and research recordings, tracing material conditions of song through sonic embodiment and self-hearing and mimicry as reconnection.

Recorded August 2016 in St George's Church, Brighton, with a stereo mic set-up on a Zoom H5 located about 10 feet from the speakers. Features exterior traffic noise and player-created noise, kind of Glenn Gould mumphling. Occasional sung outbursts from audience members.
