Heed

about

This 16 minute improvised piece was recorded on the 5th May. I recorded two improvisations and this was not the one I thought went best in the moment - listening back I've accepted I was wrong. The other version felt contrived whereas this one felt more natural and effortless – strange the way the mind plays tricks on you.

The recording session was bookended by some beautiful conversations on the psychological and practical challenges of making music with musicians Hilary Robinson and Bea Brennan and it coincided with the huge relief that came with the day's news that the Conservative Party had lost control of many local councils in the UK.

Boring bit
I used a Torso T1 sequencer, Moog Mother 32, Dreadbox NYMPHES analogue poly synth, 1010 Nanobox Lemondrop granular synth, OTO Machines BIM delay, Strymon Bluesky reverb and Mackie Mix 8. Thanks to Juno for helping me with a few gear-related questions and requests this week.
