Ta Yu Ta I
"I listened to the demo recordings for the “Ta Yu Ta I” CD. The track begins with the sound of a stone, and, for a moment I doubted my ears, thinking that it was the iwafue stone flute that I had lost overseas in 2005. The flute actually used on this recording was a replica on an ancient flute, one of three that have been handed down within my family. But until that moment when I heard the sound of it echoing inside my skull, I had completely forgotten about it. It was my living flesh that breat…

You can check the video from a link on subjam.org for understand more (of course not for Chinese language but other aspects)." - Ya…

Secret Passage

II
Liverpool producer Paul Rafferty aka Ancient Plastix is back with 'II' an album that glides effortlessly, combining incredibly rich textures with soft swan-like strokes, oscillating gently, an unhurried pace that combines the depth of Japanese ambient maestros and the choppy British mist. Recorded to tape on a Japanese Sansui machine, there is a widescreen grandeur that permeates Ancient Plastix’ production, a cinematic instinct that steers clear of crescendos by creating paths that revel in war…

Six Studies
*Limited Edition Handmade CDR* The pieces in this collection are studies, of a sort, and all written in 2021 or 2022. Along with most other things I’ve produced in thesame period, there’s an unintended, relentless sentimentality to them – inevitable, I suppose, if working with diatonic clusters.They’re all very simple, and, with the exception of Piano and Accompaniment, aren’t really “compositions” so much as demonstrations of what instruments are busy doing while we might be busy thinking about…
Spaces
*Limited Edition Handmade CDR* Spaces, for solo vibraphone, was composed in 2021 for percussionist Tony Oliver in celebration of more than thirty years of musical collaboration and friendship.
