The task of providing military defense for the Texas Frontier was never an easy one because the territory was claimed by some of the greatest querrilla fighters of all times—the Comanches, Kiowas, Apaches, and Lipans. Protecting a line running from the Red River southwest to El Paso was an impossible task, but following the Mexican War the federal government attempted to do so by establishing a line of forts. During the Civil War the forts were virtually abandoned and the Indians once again ruled the area. Following the war when the military began to restore the old forts, they found that the Indians no longer fought with bows and arrows but shouldered the latest firearms. With their new weapons the Indians were able to inflict tremendous destruction, bringing demands from settlers for more protection. In the summer of 1866 a new line of forts appeared through central Texas under the leadership of General Philip H. Sheridan, commander of federal forces in Louisiana and Texas. Guardians of a raw young land and focal points of high adventure, the old forts were indispensable in their day of service and it is fitting that they be preserved. In and around the forts and …

Recording of Simon Hall's Jazzthing. Jazzthing attempts to fuse some of the elements of jazz - the rhythmic vitality, the instrumentation, the freer forms of contemporary jazz music - with more abstract soundworlds and developed, highly processed material from the electroacoustic genre. The piece integrates sound objects with clearly identifiable extrinsic links with those that essentially transcend this, as well as, in time-honored jazz tradition, featuring quotations - both musical and vocal, obvious and occluded. During its course, Jazzthing moves from fast-moving, exhilarating textures to reflective, pensive soundworlds to pulsed, driving, rhythms. The sources for this piece, including the musical quotes and a couple of the spoken quotes, were performed by the composer and a number of their musician colleagues who kindly allowed the composer to "pinch" bits of their performances following recording sessions produced for release elsewhere. A couple of the vocal quotes and smallest sound objects come from jazz LPs and sample CDs. Much material has undergone significant transformation, notably by techniques of time manipulation and the cross-synthesis of sounds. Musical quotes include material from Weather Report's Birdland, Herbie Hancock's Cantaloupe Island, and Bob James' Theme from Taxi.
