TRANSCRIPTIONS
These are recorded extracts from candid 'life' documents, that have been re-contextualised in various ways. The intention is to make more palpable the ideas and feelings touched upon in the source material. Some are purely acousmatic, others include images.
Note: In the master copies the sound tracks are multichannel, and the images full frame video.

The spoken material here is re-recorded from a field diary made at Paturau in 2013. The sound track uses harp sounds as a source, plus the unforgetable voice of Ella Fitzgerald.
It is dedicated to Doreen Cousins.

Here the spoken material is the sound track from a video diary, made at the site of the Paturau Array. It has not been re-recorded. The accompanying sounds however, have been extracted from the multichannel audio work 'Sea Section'.

This is an 'up-dated' response to questions asked of me by Owen Jensen (a music commentator) in a radio interview (my first) made in the early 1970's. The broadcast was recorded from a transistor radio with a very poor microphone!
In this transcription, my answers are first heard as statements, the questions are then placed within an environment of excerpts from works yet to be made. It is also an attempt to bring together the early conventional works, with later electroacoustic ones.

Another take on diary material from the 2013 Paturau visit. In this case the original recording has been used. It is also a stereo bounce of a multichannel master.

Transcription no.5
Based around a a recorded dialogue between Robert Hoskins and myself and broadcast in the RPM radio programme 'The Necessity for Consolation' in 2003. I have used material relevant to the decision I was grappling with at the time regarding whether I should leave the university. This material has been placed within the context of a work (DIRGE) completed ten years later, including extracts from the workbook entries made during the gestation of that work.

This document is a digital version of a work originally using KODAK projectors, made from manipulated transparencies captured during a 'sunwalk' at Birdlings Flat in the mid- 1980's. It occurs on this site in the section under 'other concerns'. I have repeated it here with a new sound track.
