Camerawork (1980)

This simple piece was written when I first arrived in London after finishing a year's Postgraduate study at Sheffield University. I had intended to write a number of pieces in this style, lifting notions from the use of cameras in film (such as 'soft focus' etc). Unfortunately, such was the way then, I didn't get round to completing any others...

It's in that kind of hypnotic 'repetitive music' groove, and probably would have gone down well in a Regular Music concert had I managed to arrange it for that line up.

By the way, although it's numbered 1 in my list of compositions, it's certainly not the first, or most orginal piece I had written up to then. But it works pretty well even now, I think, so it's probably a good starting point for listeners.

This extract starts in the middle section and goes throught to the end.

I hope you like it.
