about

I was living and working in a warehouse in North London, Tottenham. It was an energetic community, and I enjoyed the space to create. I entered some incredible experiences and saw some of my worst and some of my best.

At the same time a young musician named David Turay whom I met whilst busking/practising my saxophone, on the south bank of the river Thames near Waterloo, was often asking questions of me about music and I was happy to share.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with the Dave Smith Tempest drum machine, this machine had a thick sound and swinging rhythm to it.

I was just putting down music however it was in relation to the simultaneous project 'The Symphonic Multiverse'. This was another approach to transdisciplinary creation that involved creating a set of diagrams and images through which one could experience varieties of space and inter-dimensional realms. The different approaches were mapped into various categories, contingencies, plans and orbital relationships. As a mode of thinking it encouraged the practitioner to go into the world and explore spaces, places, meet people, try different guises and make connections.

This approach would then naturally feed into the music and as such forms the theoretical backbone of the album.

David tragically moved on from life in this realm at this time passing into the next realm at the age of 19, however in many ways he was older than his years. This album is dedicated to his life and memory, he was a big part of that time and experience, his involvement is more obvious on the recording Jesus it will Cost You, where after his passing, as a tribute I overdubbed a sopranino saxophone on top of a track of the same name taken from his bandcamp page. I felt that this was something he would have appreciated, that in spirit the song was asking for this reuse and adaptation, through its own musonical language, at leas this is the kind of thinking I would talk about with David when it came to writing music.

I felt that through his music he was sending messages from the after life. Jesus it will cost you was recorded in such a way that reminded me of the times we would talk about Musashi by Eiji Yoshikawa, a famous novel about a samurai or ronin of the time of the warring states in Japan. At the end of the book Musashi confronts his nemesis not with a sword but with a stick after attaining the highest levels of spiritual enlightenment.

On Davids recording, Jesus it Will Cost you, he does not play the saxophone (metal sword), his main instrument but plays what sounds like a wooden flute (timber stick). The rhythms of the music also remind me of the fluid 15 rhythm system in The Mumagi Book. David had my copy of Musashi, that I had lent to him, and he also had a copy of The Mumagi Book that I had given to him which he had studied as intensely as no other could compare.
