about

DCM 024 Cepheid - Electronic -music, Em 6 - my 24th album. Containing the works Cepheid Parts 1 and 2.

Named after the phenomenon of the ‘Cepheid variable’ Star, a type of star so regular in the variability curve of its brightness, that astronomers seek them out in distant galaxies as a Standard of Brightness, or ‘standard candle.’

Cepheid Part 1 – Rh 121. In the fathomless depths of space they rise and fall – ‘Energy rise Energy fall’ – alone – aeon after aeon eternally precise. My music raises and falls with them.

Chepheid Part 2 – Rh 122. Much closer in conception and realisation than the Callisto paring to which I gave Separate Rh numbers to – but the Aural effect is quite different here. Expansive Starscapes both.


A early reorganization of my music research interest 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 Case Electronic music. - Music taking a long processing detour from an original acoustic source – by convention Em.

My 19th to 26th albums collect together the first eight dedecated Em albums in a block, one of 5 blocks, placed like books on a shelf- in an overarching 'Group' of my first 27albums. Five Blocks for the Five Tranches - as they were founded (more of less) - five sets of studies and pieces, as my Foundational Group 'Blue Cherry' [after a friend]. The foundation stone the rest of my music is built on - in four further Groups.

The Eight Em albums in the Blue Cherry Group are : Three Volumes of quite advanced studies; Em 1 Canticle for large bell – most noted for its title piece, using the ‘voices’ of bell harmonics; Em 2 Basspoint – mysymphonic outing for Bass; and Em 3 Cleo – noted for the title piece - Cleo. Next to to those are five volumes of album lenth themed sets and pieces; Em 4 Callisto – two lunar lanscapes, subtitled ‘The Moons of Jupiter Vol 1’; Em 5 WHA – an hour long outing for asymetrically phased Tubular Bells; Em 6 Cepheid - a space odyssey; Em 7 Dark Night Of The Soul – a huge electronic tone poem; and Em 8 Europa – two more lunar landscapes - ’Tthe Moons of Jupiter vol 2.’

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, MPm. The third of of five was the Phase music, realised by tape looping and timing, Phm. The fourth, a genre of Electro Acoustic composition, Music for Strings, Electronics and Percussion. Last of the five is Electronic music - Music taking the longest processing detour from an original acoustic source – by convention Em.

The DCM album numbers are volumes in a [for the most part] chronological edition.- The DCM Broadhurst Edition - Prepared for the British Library in 2018. The Volumes or Albums themselves were actually released as and when it was possible. The Edition though, was planed to stand on the 'foundation Stone' of the Blue Cherry group.

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