about

Sparse V Longform:

This version of Sparse V arose after recording the 20 minute version in the Sparse project. I had been trying to add a sound for some time but nothing 'fitted', everything I tried just distracted from the manipulations of the shifting drone already in place.

Eventually I accepted the situation and left the piece as it was....

...I found 'V' mesmerising when listening to it. I was hearing different things in its mix and depths each time I played it, and I really wanted it to last longer. A CD length version seemed to be called for.

I have to be honest, as V was was only meant to be 20 minutes and my VS2480 is no longer burning to CD, I had erased the original loop and was unable to recover the sounds. So I used Sonar Artist to mix 4 copies of the shorter version up to CD length - it became a loop of loops.

I did try to play with it, to make the sounds shift and change specifically for this release, something to 'justify' the piece in it's own right - but again I discovered this just distracted from the original - so I have let it breathe on it's own.

If you enjoy the shifting ephemeral music of the shorter version, hopefully you will similarly enjoy this longer one, drifting off into the folds and patterns of the music.

Includes artwork for jewel case CD.
