I wrote this piece to celebrate the life of my dear friend, Paul Shurey (December 24th 1958 to April 24th 2013). All of us who knew him suffered an enormous and painful loss this year. He and I only met a few years ago but quickly became firm friends. He was utterly unique - warm-hearted, generous-spirited, instantly helpful, loving, caring, inspired and inspiring, passionate, imaginative and bubbling over constantly with ideas of every kind. A lovely, extraordinary man. He created the "Tribal Gathering" festival, and that is reflected in the way this piece evolves...

▶ CD of music composed for use by Complementary Therapies Unit, Royal Free Hospital.

"MASSAGE MUSIC" - this CD is now available from slapper@cslapper.freeserve.co.uk. It has seven original piano compositions, "meditations", one for each day of the week, and it is VERY relaxing (do not listen whilst driving or operating heavy machinery!) Proceeds help to fund CTU of Royal Free Hospital, for whom these pieces were written and where they have already been used therapeutically. They do amazing work in palliative care, yet rely on voluntary donations. This project arose directly from exploring the therapeutic use of music, as these pieces were composed specifically for use in the unit. The CD runs to 47 mins.

Blue Charlotte Street

From our London 'Repulsion' live score shows at ICA & Electric Cinema. Live recording of Song To The Siren (Tim Buckley, also recorded by This Mortal Coil). Part of soundtrack created by Billie Ray Martin & Clifford Slapper for the film Repulsion by Roman Polanski. Billie's voice breaks a little as she "started crying twice, and forgot the lyrics at one point!" The show was also staged at Berlin's Deutsches Theater, and we are hoping to give it more outings soon.
