Recording of David Sheppard's The question of being. This work is for tape, which contains three sections. The sections are taken from a larger electroacoustic work, "The Humorless Puzzle", which helps link transformations between the present and past work. Section one considers the question of being. Section two look at the process of man regardless of the question, Finally, section three reflects upon consideration and progress. The sound were used by making electronically processed sounds.

Recording of Katharine Norman's In her own time. In this piece the speaker discusses memories concerning her life in London during the Second World War. Aspects of time and recorded sound replayed and transformed in the present, sound recorded on location, places, and people as they are now and were then also an important feature of this aural documentary.

Recording of Francis Dhomont's Figures de la nuit (Faces of the night). This piece is about dreams and the concept of one's existence within the night. There are samples of voices, sine tones, nature, and electronically built and/or manipulated sounds.

Recording of Sani Nicola's, Percorsi Ondulati. This piece is inspired by the picture Sentieri Ondulati by the American painter Jackson Pollock, hosted in The National Gallery of Modern Art in Rome. There is a biographical sense in the meaning of the title and the composer. This piece utilizes sound from flute from ancient Dervish music, the voice of John Cage, and electronic sounds reproducing percussive sounds. These sources are repurposed and represent recurrent thoughts in the composition.

Sentences was composed between November 1990 and January 1991 to a commission from Nicola Walker Smith with funds made available by the Arts Council of Great Britain. It is for solo soprano and live electronics (two signal processing units and sound projection). The work is essentially for two performers, the live electronic part being detailed and exacting. Texts were chosen from Whitman (an extract from "Passage to India"), Thoreau ("Woof of the Sun") and Shakespeare ("Full Fathom Five" - more accurately a deconstruction/reconstruction of this poem). The vocal material for the fourth song was constructed from isolated elements of the previous three, largely abstract and unrecognizable, fragments of words reordered and reassembled. The work seeks to mediate several "poles": the obvious onomatopoeia linked to word association - "mimesis" - with the more abstract demands of electroacoustic sounds and their combination. So the cycle moves from the declamation of the Whitman - an influence on the Futurists and hence the lettriste tradition - through the symbolic impressionism of the Thoreau to the increasingly fragmented "deconstruction" of the Shakespeare, in which single words conjure up whole images, to the final dissolution into "semantic noise" (Berio's phrase). Sentences was written specifically for the …
