There comes a time in any musician's life when it's time to clear out the cupboards. Some will chose to discard anything they haven't used, some will see if there's anything there of merit, after all the only way to choose a running order for any album is to leave things out.
These then are some of the things which were left out, but I think they merit attention and when combined like this, provide an alternative overview.
Of particular interest to me was the final piece 'Into The Tensies' which is the earliest piece here recorded in the last minutes of 2009 and into 2010, using just the Roland SH1000 synthesiser and for many years thought to be lost. It was uncovered in 2022 after being somewhere it should not have been.
The first two pieces were written with Radio Massacre International in mind, and both were developed and played at several concerts and radio appearances. The 2013 Theme was renamed 'The Plight Of The Bumble Bee' at one point!
Others are ideas which never went any further, and some are tryouts of newly acquired technology (there's a Repeater on tracks 6 & 8 for example). 'Light Seagull' even represents a brief foray into working with a chord writing tool on the I-Pad, the name of which now escapes me. In some cases, it was only a trawl of the Korg Multitrack I use which offered up pieces I had long forgotten.
I hope this will be an enjoyable set of snapshots from a ten year period, and for me I'm happy that the cupboards are now cleared.
