This SINGLES project
provides an opportunity to air some PMusic pieces to an audience for free. Each one is a relatively
small-scale composition suited to the idea of the
three minute single and allows for the opportunity
of trying out ideas and 'audience testing' this
ever-changing music.
Another useful aspect of the Single as a motif is
its suggestion of expediency: some of these pieces,
especially the earlier ones, are low tech recordings
(as in Punk) but I decided to release them as (for
me at least) they win on charm. Later recordings
will explore a range of approaches, some in collaboration
with other musicians.
I'm also interested in how the 'cover' can be the
extension of the 'record' (see 'rethinking
Albums') and have explored this idea to develop
the visual aspect of the work. I intend to develop
this further as more Singles are created.
The prefix for these pieces is 'EP' as all PMusic
is 'extended play' ;-) - future PMusic releases will be larger-scale projects
and some will be available to buy as downloads and
in CD ROM format. Keep an eye on the site or email
for details.
