An experiment in minimalist electric piano; three layers of patterns drifting in and out of synch and a final improvised layer.  Everything played to click track, no sequencing.  Virtual Rhodes via laptop with USB keyboard.  Recorded 22nd November 2013.

Clouds of Blossoms (naviarhaiku347)

The roots of Quadelectronic began with this gig at Leicester's venue pub The Musician on 20th January 2004.  Two far-reaching local improv trios performed that night: Endgame (Alan Freeman, Steve Freeman, Jim Tetlow) and then The Planet Scanners (Chris Conway, Mick Oxtoby, Andy Fitzsimons) before improvising together for an hour.
Much of this 'supergroup' performance was released on the album 'Musici' by The Scanner Game (the retrospectively chosen project name) which covered material from this gig and another from 3rd August the same year.  This 8'20" passage from the first gig didn't make it to the album, but it deserves to be heard regardless - so here it is, 16 years later.

'Musici' can be streamed/purchased here:

The Scanner Game: In Warmer Times (Musician 20/01/04) previously unreleased extract

Talking to my wife about game show theme tunes and remembered this cheesy old track which reminded me of them!  A twist on them, maybe :)

I've been recording music in some form or other since 1990 and have involved myself in Leicester's thriving (and unusual) underground music scene since 1997. Chris Conway's monthly Quadelectronic events at Leicester's Quad Studios have opened more doors to new friends and new musical experiences, for which I want to express my gratitude.
I work in a variety of musical forms, both solo and with friends: notably the currently-reawakening Leicester band Muted Fnord with multi-instrumentalists David Dhonau, Ola Szmidt and Andrew "Johnny" Johnston; also with Chris Conway as Memory Wire, with Alto Stratus as Endgame and also percussionist julian Broadhurst, vocalist/musician Victoria Bourne and others. Both composed and improvised (often an intuitive combination of the two), my music spans a range from the conventionally melodic to the most abstract avant-garde soundscaping, with many possible crossover points inbetween. Whatever the form, I make music I'd like to hear.
In addition to the electronic soundscaping I also play cajón in Leicester-based psychedelic rockin' outfit Multimorph and ethnic fusion four-piece Jaipur School Orchestra.
