about

Isospin - Electronic music, Em 13 - my 39th album. The second album of my Circulation Triptych - along side albums 37 and 41.

Following in the vein of Em 12 - 'Movement About a Point', Em 13 - 'ISOSPIN' - is a further exploration of rotary motion but at an altogether more abstract level. This time, after the physical concept of Isospin - a Quantum component of Particles that feel the Strong Nuclear Force. It’s a beautiful word but Spin in name only because Mathematically its Quantum Mechanical description resembles Angular Momentum. Poetically, I derive a feeling of something in motion – the exchange of the strong force between Quarks in the Nucleons of the Atom – that dance – that is everything we know and what we know it with.

Endlessly moving music – if music It is. I defined a limit case of music as ‘Sound Considerable as time and Process.’ So. by that, it is, whereas Cage’s 4’33, would not be. A controversy I stand by.

Isospin 1 Rh 177 and Isospin 2 – Rh 178.

Two symmetrical parts, of a whole larger piece. Like mirror images of each other. Which when put together, have Decay Curves that graphically play out a perfect semicircle - ‘Energy Fall,’ ‘Energy Rise’. That description is a nod to Klaus Schulze’s 1971 album 'Irrlicht' - 'Energy Rise Energy fall' – organically, a part of my youth.


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 together 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. Here the Nono Crosscurrant, crosses into Em. 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', being, 'The Fluid Elements - Rh 197 ' [Air and Water] and ‘Earthfire - Rh 198’ [Earth and Fire]. Em 16 ‘Moment of a Butterfly’ - was 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 – Rh 208’ is music sourced from an actual Witches Coven, friends of mine flew in for the event. I couple this with ‘Solitaire - Rh 209,’ music ‘microtuning’ from a slowly 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 bringing 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.
