Algorim - Music for Strings, Electronics and Percussion, MSEP 12 - my 54th album - with Jim Tetlow's lovely wood Block cover - wood box music. Two works for Marimba and one for Electronic Cello. The Last Parts of my Integral Percussion Series.

Amarimb – Rh 230.

Electro-acoustic music for Marimba and Tape, a Marimba is played over a tape A good title would have been 17 minutes beyond a Marimba. The title I gave it - Amarimb – takes the ‘A’ from the end of Marimba and Drops it in at the fore. Marimba beyond – the essence of my MSEP Genre.

Amberim – Rh 231.

A recombination of the same process – this time passing it back through an electronic filter – and transposing the ‘b’ at the end of Amarimb – and substituting an ‘e’ to make Amber – to me the colour of this music – with sunlight shinning through it.

Algorim – Rh 232.

By far the largest piece on the Album – for Electronic Cello – the consideration of sound is the time and process – so it falls within my limit definition of music as being ‘Sound Considerable as time and process. It Should really be designated as Em, but it falls here as part of a weekend of music making and is then the last part of my integral Percussion Series,

Beginning with my Four Klavierstuck, I explore, a minimalist Progress - an exploration of means and minima – invention with the least of means – the closest invention. Looking then to construct real music - with that least of means - in the way of a percussionist and his studio. That gives me a starting point for a whole season of works – wrapping itself around, but completely separate from the other big series in this Group – the Nono series - all inside this New Horizon Group. So I have a methodology of invention – from the Piano as a Percussion instrument - that I move to use with other Orchestral Percussion instruments. With electronics and Tapes and Studio Time - this then, is my Integral Percussion Series. Quite radical formulations for Piano – Glockenspiel – Prepared Piano –Vibraphone – Marimba and Cello - snaking across my established Genres as ‘Crosscurrents.’

An early reorganization of my music research interests had defined my music into dedicated sets of Albums. This way things of a kin got heard together - as one type of album or another - by Genre - or Tranche as I styled them. In this Case Music for Strings, Electronics and Percussion or MSEP - basically Electro acoustic music with Orchestral Instruments. By Convention MSEP.

Beginning as a percussionist my first 7 albums are for Drums of various kinds, Drum music or Dm, my first area of research interest or Tranche. I soon realised there was a second area of percussion, as a generality over a specialism - percussion on anything other than Drums, MPm. The third of five was the Phase music, realised by tape looping and timing, Phm. The fourth, a genre of Electro Acoustic composition, Music for Strings, Electronics and Percussion. Last of the five is Electronic music - Music taking the longest processing detour from an original acoustic source.

Albums number 28 to 58 form my second big publishing project or Group - the 'New Horizon' - built on the foundational 'Blue Cherry' Group - where I had introduced my 5 areas of research interest, as Blocks of dedicated albums. Now in a new air I felt free to just reel them of as they came. Exploring like a man with a Time machine - where these five Genres, or Tranches, might lead me.

There are 10 MSEP albums in the New Horizon Group, MSEP 4 - 13. MSEP 4 ‘Particulate’ – the first three pieces in in my Nono Series - after a single fragment from Nono. MSEP 5 ‘Klavierstuck 1- 3,’ begin the other big series in the Group – the Integral Percussion Series - coupled then with another Nono piece. MSEP 6 ‘Counting’ is a sister album to MSEP 2 ‘Count-out.’ MSEP 7 ‘Nonoquinox’ [pronounced No No[K] Qi-nox presents two severe settings of the Nono fragment for strings - the Trio e Nono and Nonoquinox. MSEP 8 ‘Very Quiet Music’ is ‘a music that for the most part would be as quiet as possible, a Very Quiet Music but . . .’ MSEP 9 ‘Uranic Phase’ – is music for bowed Electric Bass and Electronics. MSEP 10 ‘Sonatabass’ - a display piece in four movements, coupled with ‘The Logic and the Apple – both for Bowed Bass. MSEP 11 ‘Sonata for Prepared Piano’ has four pieces ending with the Sn for Piano prep. MSEP 12 ‘Algorim’ has two works for Marimba and one for Electronic Cello – ending the Integral Percussion Series. Lastly MSEP 13 ‘Turing’ with two pieces in my Nono Series – Particulate five and Turing Boogie Woogie.

The DCM album numbers list volumes in a [for the most part] chronological edition - the ‘DCM Broadhurst Edition’ - Prepared for the British Library in 2019. The volumes or albums themselves were actually released as and when it was possible. The Edition though, was planed from the start to stand on the 'foundation Stone' of the Blue Cherry group.
