This was amongst the first half dozen or so LPs that I purchased way back in time!
Totally different - I was planting garlic and onions in the garden yesterday, and I immediately thought of GP when I looked at the planting instructions. He will understand when I say that the company producing them is based in Holbeach...
This at length awaited CD version includes contents from the original
1983's LP Autumn Resonance / Domino Figures released by danish label
Paula. Inedited Voices Recurrent and Music for 21 Clarinets are
available along with linear notes written by the author, echoing the
current value of his experimental approach to the sound practice.
A selection of the most radical impressive works composed by Wayne
Siegel when he was mid-twenties. Moved to Denmark, between 1979 and
1980, he began to investigate possibilities of a very personal language,
contributing to mould the heterogeneous kaleidoscope of Post-Minimalism
results. The early works are constructed around a relentless musical
process that consists of delaying and repeating every element in a
certain measure, without intentional alteration. Siegel called this
process canon technique, letting it to become over time his nutritious
obsession.

I associate Holbeach with the school bus and childhood trips to the dentist!
- One of the albums from my Cantaloupe Music subscription:
Burkina Electric is a group of musicians from Africa and Europe led by composer Lukas Ligeti, son of famed Hungarian composer György Ligeti. Their music draws from the tradition and rhythms of Burkina Faso while incorporating contemporary electronic elements.
- Lukas explains Burkina Electric's formation: "I received an unexpected call shortly before finishing university studies in my hometown of Vienna, Austria. The Goethe Institute, Germany's international network of cultural institutes, invited me to West Africa for a collaboration with traditional musicians...[which was] unexpected because I am not German, nor had I ever lived there. However, my friend Pyrolator (Kurt Dahlke) was not only German but a seminal figure in that country's experimental pop music. So I invited him to join me and a grand experiment began. "We first traveled to Africa's west coast in the mid-90s, making our first attempts at creating what could be called African electronica. On our travels to Burkina Faso we met the singer Maï Lingani and guitarist Wende K. Blass. Soon, we invited two dancers to help us draw audiences into our unusual rhythms and celebrate the continent's unseverable connection between music and dance."
guitarist/composer Corrie van Binsbergen finished her classical guitar
studies at the Conservatory of Utrecht in 1983. She has been active in a
very wide musical range and played with many musicians in pop-, jazz-,
improvised- and chambremusic, theatre- and danceproductions,
record-sessions, the houseband of a TV show and even the circus. She
started her own band ‘Corrie en de Brokken’ in 1986. Ten years later she
initiated a unique project 'Corrie en de Grote Brokken', a cooperation
of topmusicians from the Dutch pop- and jazzworld. In 1996 she also
founded the ‘Stichting Brokken’ realising every one or two years a new,
surprising and succesfull production where she brings together different
musical styles or artforms for a far broader public than only jazz
reaches. From that time on she mainly does her own productions.
Organising, managing, composing and playing. In 1999 Corrie van
Binsbergen received the VPRO/Boy Edgar prize (the most prestigious award
in Dutch jazz- and improvised music) for her creativity, craftsmanship
and versatility. This prize is considered an oeuvre-prize. She received
numerous commissions for Dutch radio and TV, Filmmuseum, Holland
Festival, Nederlands Blazers Ensemble, Mondriaan String Quartet, Zapp
String Quartett, Loeki Stardust, Radio Symphony Orchestra,
ASKO/Schonberg Ensemble & Barbara Hannigan
I'll sometimes use software that finds random geographical coordinates. It often lands in a body of water considering the makeup of our earth, but after a few more attempts, I'll end up with some, usually remote, location and then, I'll explore. Usually it's their music. So, I ended up off National Route 8 in Burkina Faso (I've actually had a work of mine performed there) in Orodara - the capital of Kénédougou Province. So, pursuing things further, I came across these two wonderful videos - both of which seem to reach an incredible fever-pitch of excitement.
