about

Auda - Electronic music, Em 29. My 76th and Double album. The results of my Auda Experiments it is the first album in my new Blue Horizon group.

Auda were a series of Blue Sky experiments in sound transformation which essentially took me in two directions, to worlds unknown to me - the A strand and the B strand.

By reiterating the algorithms in various directions I settled on basically two directions strands A and B of the original sound source. I numbered each of the experiments as points along each strand - spending time with each one to discover its nature. The two strands had very different 'musical' or at best sonic characteristics - changing so markedly as I went on. you could say Nature is creating these - but they didn't exist implicitly in the source any more than a statue is implicitly in a block of marble that it will become - but for the Agency of the sculptor. Following my minimum conditional definition for music as 'Sound considerable as Time and Process, - my Agency as an aesthetic judgement - as the designer of the process and limiter of time.

Essentially I chose, the second and the fourth A strand experiment [becoming Rh 283 and 285] and the fourth B Strand experiment [becoming Rh 291], to represent the journeys. These it seemed to me were the most stable and the most aesthetically interesting. I felt a little like H. G. Well's character 'the time traveller' sitting in his time machine turning up to sample the world at a certain point, and disappearing again if things got a little rough, and things did get very, very weird. On I went, in the spirit of musical exploration, with only the' Oxford Dictionary of music' and Stockhausen's 'what to do when you get there', as my companions. The huge range of unused experiments is far to large to publish and of little real interest to me collects dust in my vaults.


An early reorganization of my music research interests had defined my music into dedicated sets of Albums. This way things of a kin got heard together - as one type of album or another - by Genre - or Tranche as I styled them. In this Case Electronic music, Em. - Music taking a long processing detour from an original acoustic source.

Album numbers 76 on to the end form my fourth and fifth big publishing projects or Groups – as a single Huge project usually split into two parts. Another New Horizon but this time a Blue Horizon – an Inner and an Outer Blue – after ‘Blue Sky – as an expression of an expansive exploration. Albums 76 to 95 are the Inner Blue and 96 to 132 the Outer Blue. Building finally on the previous three – The Golden Band – The New Horizon and The Blue Cherry, the foundation of them all. The five Distinctive Genres running vertically through them all like coloured stripes.
