This cover shows an interaction between a man and a mechanism, as in Paul Goodey and Michael Oliva's ‘Xas-Orion’ (with computer) and Edwin Roxburgh's multi-tracked ‘At the Still Point of the Turning World...’.However, David Sutton-Anderson's ‘New Ground’ is derived from a Ground Bass by Henry Purcell, and Michael Oliva's ‘Into the Light’ is neo-Romantic. Graham Fitkin’s ‘Ostrich on the Plain’ is as humorous as Timothy Salter’s ‘Diptych (Abstractions IV)’ is serious.
Specially written for this CD is Cecilia MacDowall's dramatic ‘Fox Woman’, spoken and sung by Linda Hirst. |
