First I thought I'd make this available as a free download. Then I thought it would be nice to make a 7-inch single from it. I couldnt choose so I decided to do both. Not the smartest move, business-wise, but so be it. So enjoy it for zero money, or spend some money on a sympathetic little slab of vinyl.
The first track of this single is an edited version of the music for the 10-minute dance piece 'as much as it is worth' by Marta Alstadsæter & Kim-Jomi Fischer. They asked me to do it (after some extra last-minute funding) a week before the première, so time was super short... but it worked out quite nicely, if I may say so. And, especially for my standards, it's a mildly euphoric track!
The second track is a further developed sketch of an alternative proposal for the score. It's bit less cheerful, with some noise thrown in for good measure.

Fantastic collection of experimental music with proceeds going to a superb cause. Many thanks to Paul Gough from pimpod.com for pointing me in it's direction. Gavin Hellyer

I go to sleep listening to this song, and I wake up in a beautiful dream state in the morning. It also helps me focus while I write and work. I was heartbroken when this song disappeared on Spotify, so the hunt began. I must say, this song was very difficult to find, but all the more rewarding when I found it. Jonathan Tilley
