Available via Bandcamp"The book A Human Document (Humument) by the late artist Tom Phillips was a source of graphic inspiration to me when I studied at art college in the 1980s.
It was only at the end of 2022 when looking across a bookshelf looking for inspiration for track titles that I found the book again that I thought it might be interesting to write an album of electronic/modern classical music inspired by the text and art.
After recording some basic ideas in early 2023, I enlisted Roberta Fidora, Euan Dalgarno and Keith Seatman to add some leaven to the project and provide further inspiration, transforming the tracks from their original form in some cases.
I used the book's collage approach adding and reworking many layers, then erasing, obscuring and rebuilding. All the track titles are taken directly from the text of the book."
