about

Magic Lily music - Electronic music, Em 31 - my 80th album. The Bauhaus set - album 2 of 2 - named for that German Art school aesthetic - from a harsh, Industrial - Electro Metallique to a gentle dream.

Magic Lily music nos. 1 and 2 - Rh 298 and 299. These are the second pair, of a set of four pieces, beginning on the previous album - Em 30 Haus music. The four pieces are then a set - ‘The Bauhaus Set.’ They are quite independent of each other having been created for different reasons but they are thematically related and in that sense a set.

Magic Lily music is so named for an old friend's [then] tiny daughter, Magic Lily, who by all accounts could fly at this tender age. I stayed with them once and brought it as a gift. She fluttered her wings and listened quite contently to this hour of deliberately less confrontational Metallique. I made it for her but it progresses logically from Haus Music - the previous album Em 30. Haus music was so named for the Bau - Haus, hence a Bauhaus set by default. I wanted to create a Bauhaus music and those two parts were it, in a harsh Metalique, the Bauhaus being incredibly important to me as an Artist many years ago. I created the Magic lily music - in short order - by extending the technique, which softened the Klang - and I had a Magic lily music.

I have thought of these two sets as quite separate for years now, even publishing them separately. However - for the British Library Edition, the final and Definitive Edition - I chose to extend the notion of a ‘Bauhaus Set’ over all four of the pieces, hence the nomination - ‘The Bauhaus Set volumes 1 and 2.’


The Bauhaus Set

The Bauhaus Set - Rh 296 - 299 - here I present an Industrial - electro percussive world of collapsing metal and construction in an imperative of field depth - in musical space. A cold outer vastness and an infinitesimal focus. The imperative being of Deep perception - of Deep Listening, a metallic modality. Perceive the harmonics as they wheel and pass. The four pieces – across these two albums, are a gradation in tambre.

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 the longest processing detour from an original acoustic source. By Convention Em.

Beginning as a percussionist my first 7 albums are for Drums of various kinds, Drum music or Dm, my first area of research interest or Tranche. I soon realised there was a second area of percussion, as a generality over a specialism - percussion on anything other than Drums, Metal Percussion music, or MPm. The third of five is the Phase music, realised by tape looping and timing, Phm. The fourth, a genre of Electro Acoustic composition, Music for Strings, Electronics and Percussion, or MSEP. The last genre is Electronic music, Em, taking the longest processing detour from an original acoustic source.

Album numbers 76 to 95 form my fourth ‘Group’ - a 4th time division across my Genres, my Inner Blue Group. This builds on the foundational 'Blue Cherry Group' [where I had introduced my 5 areas of research interest] and the big 'New Horizon Group' - [where I explored to see where these five genres were leading me]. There then seemed to be a ‘band of gold’ across my discography. My Golden Band Group, that mark a particularly successful time for me. The albums that follow that, 76 to the end, are a ‘Blue Horizon’ - after the phrase’ blue sky research’ - the ‘Blue Horizon Group.’ For convenience, I divided this Huge area into the Inner and the Outer Blue Groups. So the Fourth Group is the Inner Blue Horizon - or Inner Blue Group.

There are nine Em Albums in the Inner Blue Group, Em 29 to Em 37.

[] Album Em 29 Auda, documents a series of vast Aural experiments.

[] Album Em 30 Haus music, is for the Bauhaus - music of metallic klang.

[] Album Em 31 is Magic Lilly music - a sweeter klang for a little girl who by all accounts could fly.

[] Album Em 32 Beriom 8, is a sea change in my work - the red album - my Beriom series crosses genres from Phm to become Em, with a huge increase in scale.

[] Album Em 33 Beriom 9, the blue album, dives under water.

[] Album Em 34 Beriom 10, the grey album is even bigger and bleaker.

[] Album Em 35 [Untitled] if that is the case, is Beriom 11 with all but name - a far flung extreme.

[] Album Em 36 Rothko Triptych is a homage to a master in three wall sized pieces, gallery music.

[] Album Em 37 Ober, lastly - is a set of shifting surfaces.

The DCM album numbers list volumes in a [for the most part]
chronological edition - the ‘DCM Broadhurst Edition’ - Prepared for the British Library in 2020. The volumes or albums themselves were actually released as and when it was possible. The Edition though, was planned 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.
