A realisation of December 1952 by Jane Dickson and Lawrence Williams










"December 1952" by Earle Brown, recorded live at The St. Davids Room, King's College London, September 21st 2010

Lawrence Williams - alto saxophone
Jane Dickson - piano

Lawrence Williams and Jane Dickson have worked together as a duo over the last year. Their work together consists of an interest in the meeting point of composition and improvisation and alternative methods of notation.

Jane Dickson is a London based pianist and composer. She specialises in augmenting acoustic instruments with live electronics for improvisation and composition using custom built systems in Max/MSP. She is studying composition at doctoral level at Goldsmiths, University of London where her current interests are the aptness of the use of live electronics with acoustic instruments in composition, the notation of live electronics and performance aesthetics.

Lawrence Williams is a tenor and alto saxophonist and composer. Having lived in London for the last nine years, he attended Eddie Prevost's improvisation workshop during 2007. He currently lives in Budapest. He has a strong interest in interdisciplinary collaboration and works extensively with theatre, dance and sometimes circus. He continues to curate and organise concerts where and when he can which usually focus on placing musicians in unique and sonically interesting spaces.

Seth Cluett - tracing moving circles












100 circles for the head, a wall-mounted set of drawings and an accompanying headphone-based sound recording, documents the acoustic trace of drawing 100 circles in three different ways: 100 single circles, 50 x 2 circles, and 25 x 4 circles

100 circles for the head tt 04.13, mp3












glass is a performance work produced as an unprocessed studio recording. The recording documents the sound of circular motions made by moving a piece of glass in each hand against two pieces of glass placed flat on a table. The performance is finished when it is no longer physically possible to continue the action, allowing exhaustion to create variations in an otherwise steady simple sound-producing motion.
