Origin acknowledgements

THE OBJECT IS A HUNGRY WOLF — was written and conceived for Lost Jockey and first performed on Thursday 4th March 1982 at the New Hall, City University London at 1.10 p.m. John Barker conducted and some of his comments and ideas about the score remained pertinent at the time this version was recorded.

32 FRAMES FOR AMPLIFIED ORCHESTRA — was conceived and written for the Goldsmiths College 20th Centruy Music Orchestra — director Dave Burnand — and first performed in the recital room at Goldsmiths on Wednesday 18th March 1981 at 1.15. The conductor was Rupert Bond.

LISTENING IN — was conceived and made along with a 4 track tape recorder, eletric piano, synth, guitar, bass guitar, drum machine and space echo delay in a Deptford Hut during April/May 1981. This material was substantially reworked in the studio for this present version.

CADENZA FOR PIANO AND ELECTRIC PIANO — was conceived and written for Helen Ottoway and myself for a performance with Kick Start Dance Company at X6 Butlerswharf Rotherhithe on Friday 29th August 1980 at 8.00. Originally the piece had 4 sections but the last 3 of these were withdrawn after the first performance. The one movement from the piece had many performances between 1980 and 1983 either with Regular Music, Lost Jockey or independently. The Z.T.T. 1985 version contains revisions and extensions of that piece and I would like to thank Glynn Perrin for his help, comments and enthusiasms.

Zang Tumb Tuum also confirms that “It is the traditional task of the prophet to denounce systems of rule and life which deny the freedom of the flesh or the imagination.”

“Don’t worry, they said, ALL’S WELL. My Doctor says ALL’S WELL in the world of new music and my lawyer says ALL’S WELL; ALL’S WELL in the world of youth culture and my government says ALL’S WELL; ALL’S WELL in the world of scientific discovery and my father says ALL’S WELL; ALL’S WELL in the world of decision making and my lower says ALL’S WELL; ALL’S WELL in the world of experimental psychology and my preacher says; all sorts of crazy things.” — extract from unrevised A.P. ‘post first past the — ’
