Willow Hymn

Ham is a space-face spaced out homage to the first great ape in Space, Ham, named after the Holloman Aeromedical Laboratory, who safely returned from Space in January 1961.

"he had a smile on his face -- 
but," said the experts,
"that's a sign of great distress,
that's a sign of great distress"

Dedicated to Laurence Crane on his Birthday. 

Live Recording at St Giles Cripplegate 18/10/21

Performers: 
Ben Smith - Piano 
Patrick Hegarty - Sampler
Matt Geer - Organ
Christian Drew - Guitar 
Darius Paymai - E. guitar

This short piece started with a discovery that if you assign letters of the alphabet to A natural minor scale, surname CRANE would result in a suitably Crane-y chord, that can be heard at the beginning and the end of the piece. The rest of the piece is created from letters in LAURENCE CRANE converted into a chord row using another process.

Performed at the Festival of Laurence Crane at St Giles Cripplegate on 18 October 2021.
