about

Change Circle - Electronic music, Em 18 - my 51st and Double, album. An Opposition of passions, and a Gross Fuge !

Disc 1. 01. Change Circle - Rh 221.

A Change Circle is a group who Ring in the Changes, in a bell tower, Campanologists or Change Ringers, a ring of changes being the order in which the bells are to be rung, in a cycle or 'Change'. Here we have a euphoria of bell tones, a celebration.

02. Gross Fuge (slight return) - Rh 219.

I created this just to test the studio, but I'm glad I did and I rather like it, it has an aesthetic all of its own. It has no links to either Change Circle or Pattern Dance, except that it is from the Em studio at exactly this time, so as an acknowledged work, it took the number it did, and slotted in here.

Disc 2. Pattern Dance - Rh 222.

The Sister Piece to Change Circle, very different in character and outlook but the two belong together, so Em 18 became a Double Album.


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. By convention Em.

Albums number 28 to 58 form my second big publishing project or Group - the 'New Horizon' - built on the foundational 'Blue Cherry' Group - where I had introduced my 5 areas of research interest, as Blocks of dedicated albums. Now in a new air I felt free to just reel them of as they came. Exploring like a man with a Time machine - where these five Genres, or Tranches, might lead me.

There are 12 Em albums in the New Horizon Group, Em 9 to 20. Em 9 is the Konzertmusic for DME; Em 10 is Dodecal – first and second parts of my Birthday Triptych. Em 11 is ‘Nonosphere’ – “A penetrating Cloud of unbearable sharps, a rush of glass hails into one helplessly caught” – after a fragment from Nono. Em 12, 13 and 14 – ‘Movement about a Point’ – ‘Isospin’ and ‘Directions’ are the three parts of my ‘Circulation Triptych.’ Em 15 ‘Earthfire’ -Contains the Twin works of 'The Philosophical Elements', 'The Fluid Elements - Rh 197 ' [Air and Water] and ‘Earthfire - Rh 198’ [Earth and Fire]. Em 16 ‘Moment of a Butterfly’ - is a momentous stylistic and ‘Philosophical’ step forward - also marking the final change from my old Drum Studio to the new 'Isabel Studio' and a step change in possibility. Em 17 ‘Ritual’ is music sourced from an actual Witches Coven, friends of mine flew in for the event, is coupled with - music microtuning from a filling vessel. Em 18 ‘Change Circle’ is a double album containing 3 pieces - projections turning slowly in a haze of microchanges – my preoccupation at the time. Em 19 and 20 are Fibonacci and Theremi. Fibonacci is a cascade of shredded speech montage brining out the tones and tails of speech into a conceptual music. Em 20 is a performed work for Theremin.

The DCM album numbers list volumes in a [for the most part]
chronological edition - the ‘DCM Broadhurst Edition’ - Prepared for the British Library in 2019. The volumes or albums themselves were actually released as and when it was possible. The Edition though, was planed from the start to stand on the 'foundation Stone' of the Blue Cherry group.

The Rh catalogue, numbers my individual works in order of Completion.
