To Be Strong

Another strange one from the archives and photo to match. 
This was recorded on 28th August 2006 in my studio using my Nick Benjamin guitar (by the sound of it) and the school double bass (before we had one in the studio). I must have used Cubase VST - but I already had a U87 so the guitar sounds ok.  Check out the crazy compression across the stereo mix.
This time of year I would have probably been out fishing or swimming around the bay. Some things never change..Slide Home...across the sand...yeh baby!

Slide Home (August 28th 2006) by Richard Durrant

"Music for Lidos" was written for a BBC doc about Lidos back in the early 90's (the picture of me was taken that same year by Tom Fenn).  The Lido film was directed by Christopher Dudman, a wonderful film maker who now lives in New Zealand.  The film was astonishingly beautiful with lots of slo-mo dives into mirror like Lido pools. A real celebration of the architecture.
The piano was played by Julian Rhodes - a remarkable musician who died so very young, a tragic loss to us all. I wrote the music in Herbie Flower's bothy on his lovely baby grand one afternoon (thanks Herb!).
A strong memory I have of my Lido music is my brother Eddie phoning me one day saying that he'd just bought Pink Floyd's "Division Bell" and that they'd stolen my Lido music. Well - if Dave G saw the Lido film that's a cool thought.  I always thought a three note motif might be pushing it a bit with copyright - but my brother remained adamant!
