about

Wind 67 was derived from a composition for classical chamber group. It consists of eleven written sections played fairly loosely through ring-modulation manipulation by the then Birmingham Arts Lab music organiser Jolyon Laycock. At the mastering stage there was a mismatch between the original tape format (quarter-track) and the studio half-track machine which allowed a reverse half-speed recording to be audible under sections 10 and 11. Rather than waste time and money locating a compatible machine, and in the spirit of 'chance and serendipity', it was left as it was. The ring modulation too was a matter of chance: Jolyon had the multi-frequency equipment set up for his own on-going sound event, but because there was no time before the performance to properly co-ordinate the two sound sources there was a lot of extraneous noise between tracks which was also left as it was. Twenty-first century technology, however, has enable this be cleaned up, and the acquisition of a suitably formatted tape machine has allowed sections 10 and 11 to be heard as originally performed - these sections as on the original disc can be heard as an extra track.
