Looking Back, Keeping Your Balance

Piece written for a site specific concert in a quarry in Oxfordshire, which drew its inspiration from previous scifi music of mine, especially The Leisure Hive. The robot voices and effects were created in Metasynth

Involved in electro-acoustic music since the seventies. I wrote music for TV and Radio for many years, but have now gone back to composing music for its own sake, as well as continuing to write and teach.
