about

The second album in the False Self series was inspired by Elizabeth Loftus's research into the generation of false memories. The album finds me once again working with my False Self Supercollider system. This time however, I reworked, or to use Loftus's term — distorted, our joint efforts alone, in a final compositional phase.

The voices that inhabit the album are sampled from a session between R.D. Laing and his patient Rory. This session was filmed as part of the 1987 documentary Did You Used to be RD Laing? The voices speak of past traumas, however both Rory and Dr Laing are unsure whether Rory's memories are recollections or confabulations.

The music is performed by synthetic instruments, notably late 1980s and early 1990s attempts to synthesize and sample acoustic instruments, such as the EMU Emulator II, Roland D50, Korg M1, Yamaha DX7iiFD and Fairlight CMI. These instruments have a clunky, strange, counterfeit tone that I find fascinating.

13 Elegies, Riparian Zones (various)

13 fleeting solo piano works by a contemporary master. Listen out for the extraordinary changes of affect and the subtle use of the 'core rhythms' that deftly hold the disparate elements together. Rudi Arapahoe
