Track 2 is one of four pieces for strings written in Grenoble in Spring 1993, the others of which are as yet unperformed.
Track 3 derives from a larger, abandoned, project "Three Dreams Of Descartes", an oratorio in which the philosopher pits his rational self against various personal demons that come wrapped in different kinds of Time.
Track 4 was written for Henry Cow (as "Erk Gah"), performed at concerts in 1976-77, but never recorded until now.
Track 6 was written for real orchestra and later tapped into a computer & revised for midi instrumentation.
Tracks 1, 3, 4 & 5 recorded and mixed Autumn 1993 at Wolf Studios, London. Piano on track 5 recorded at Premises Studio.
Track 2 recorded live at Bottolph Clayden.
Track 6 recorded direct to DAT from MIDI instruments.
