KLASS was formed in 1987 in Tamworth, Australia. Original personnel were Spencer Hooley (vocals), Tristan Pemberton (lead guitar), Adam "Boddo" Bodkin (bass), Matt Moore (drums), Louis Armand (rhythm guitar). They released an album in 1989, Rhapsody in a Modern Life. The band split in 1991 but reformed in 2021 to record a tribute to their former frontman who, with his 11-year-old daughter, tragically drowned in the Murrumbidgee river on 19 December 2020. "Somewhere in the Aftermath" was produced during lockdown between Sydney (Australia) & Prague (Czech Republic), in the course of January-March 2021, featuring the remaining bandmembers -- Louis Armand (vocals), Tristan Pemberton (guitars), Adam Bodkin (bass) & Matt Moore (drums), with Barney Wakeford on electric organ.

The Czech composer Leoš Janáček used to transcribe conversations he heard on the Charles Bridge and turn them into motifs for his music. Likewise I sometimes take recordings of the spoken word, as well as other "found objects", to transform them into motifs and themes for my pieces.
