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.

Primo Libro

Eliza McCarthy & Laurie Tompkins
Years Went By
CD (E257)

Release date: April 2022
Edition of 200 copies

Eliza McCarthy: piano, keys, voice
Laurie Tompkins: music, production, voice

Begun on residency at the red studio, Aldeburgh, in January 2019.
Piano recorded by Shaun Crook at an empty Cafe Oto in April 2020.
Mastered by Yves De Mey (1–6)and Giuseppe Ielasi (7).

It started as something smooth for piano, let the notes work, 
less shouting. I sacked off that vow, took it up again, did desperate 
things to keep it all alive, and here’s the proof. 

Years Went By is a thick, unruly soup of keys and computer. 
The ornate line I wrote for Eliza is often traced and echoed by — 
or tangled up with — a second electronic voice that speaks in 
synthetic instruments and deformed recordings.

Eliza’s piano and keys need the oddest of FX to pace through 
the bog, and we both sing like torches when needed. 

Listening now, I think it’s a dreamy album, it levitates through 
a thousand grubby jumps. Like a memoir, I hope it feels like 
distance travelled, the way we stew and scrub a life. 

This is Eliza and I’s first music together. We met when I released 
her 2018 collaboration with Mica Levi on Slip.
