The 21 Collaborations - Index A - U
[E] Anderson Morning
[E3] AM3
In 2009, just before his move to Leicester [after our 10th album], Jim Tetlow introduces me to two fabulous people that I would have long collaborations with over the rest of my career - Flautist & vocal Artist Maureen Anderson - and Cellist David Dhonau.
[Jim Tetlow and I drive out to visit Maureen at her amazingly weird house on the edge of Leicester, She of the Shapeshifter family of Projects with which Jim was heavily involved [I cite myself as a member through my Album Integral Shining with her in 2011]. I told Maureen about the work I was doing in Derby’s W Studio - a redundant church - with Choreographer Joanna Geldard and she wants to meet me there to record a flute part in that Ambiance. I bring my drum and record us performing there together, that morning, that Anderson Morning. That then became our Collaboration name and our eponymous first album - with the title piece being also Anderson Morning - ‘so good I named it thrice’ [NY NY G. Kenny]. We weren’t a collaboration when we met that day but we were when we parted - an album in the Can. The start of a long, important project.
An Amazingly rich album of invention and stone-wall, high ceiling, church ambiance - in two parts.
[E2] Cabaret Dada - Our second album had to wait a long time in reality only a year but it felt like a lifetime Coming after the label’s break with Leicester and the flurry of new foundations that became our International sub label JJM [Named for [K] JJM - that short lived seminal Collab that broke into [L] Wenninger Broadhurst and [M] Anjelic - basically the world happening through us. Cabrate Dada fell between Anjelic 1 - [] Study no. 1 Angel and [N] D’juil 16 - the Outrageous Roof Top Performance [] Old Grey Live [al la ‘Let it Be' - every generation needs one and D’juil was it]. So Anderson Morning’s Second album was the one that healed the Break with Leicester bringing in its wake a slew of new music.
Reordered live et al - Flute - Percussion and fragments of song music what a Witches brew it is - one of the strangest things I’ve ever been involved with. Maureen was beautiful - dexterous - flute and voice. A dimly lit, a small scale, private event captured here. As mad as a box of frogs it is a treasure trove of musical Dada as a Cabaret !
Song references to ‘Yes- The Beatles - Faust and Telly Savalas - ”she used to save the darndest things rubber bands and bits of string.”
[E3] AM3 - May 2015 and for a third production - a change and just for a change we have the classic DCM Blue daisy wheel Cover and we make our name a little easier on the inkjet - I think you will see where we are going with this. We are scaling back the visuals. It is just about the Music.
In between our second and third album I - as the DCM label -begin working with - Serbian Pianist Maria Vesic as [N] Konnyek - with Poet Reg Keeling for [O] - an Audio Book - with English Harpist Alison Katy as [P] Alisian - and with Percussionist Walt Shaw as [Q] Lords of The Dance.
We are at Maureen’s home - the recording room - wires- drums - trumpets - French Horns and flutes strewn left to right - Left of field that is. We begin to vocalise, to improvise - to process running though. I am live and Studio Editor - Producer for DCM [later at my Isabel studio in Derbyshire]. What a pleasure - what an experience. We didn’t make Piglets out of sows ears silk purses or even butterflies - rather we spun Gold dust on to tape spools [Gold Dust GOLDSTAUB if anyone caught the Stockhausen reference].
Looking ahead to [E4] our fourth album, it is written up as part of my MSEP genre integrating then with this [E] collaboration. I say that the two long term genres Cross at this point my MSEP and the DCM collaborations - just to be clear - the AM4 album belongs to both. After this point normal service is resumed.
[E4] They Make music - Music for Strings, Electronics and Percussion, MSEP 33 - my 137th Album. An Opera in two Acts for Voices - Instruments and Electronics.
They Make Music - Rh 560. A Shadow-play for two Children and a box of Delights. Co Composed with Flautist Maureen Anderson in game-play rehearsal. A children's game of dressing up and Making music with the oddment of instruments in the box - where she was Christingle and I was Vladimir.
New music for an old collaboration - Maureen and I as Anderson Morning again - ‘AM’ - our fourth production. This time though, because so much of the Concept and realisation is mine, I call it a work of mine - staring Maureen, flute and Voice as Christingle to my Vladimir. It becomes then an album in my Electro-acoustic Genre, MSEP - but it is also AM 4 - in acknowledgement of her. I draw the process into fantasy and formality as we made music. It is a play for disguised voices where you see them dress up and play in your minds eye. Enjoy the bouncing percussion and how the voices stretch into melody. What do they say - well let that be a secret between ourselves.
