[F2] Projections
[F2] Projections - The one bizarrely with the stripe of pipes cover by Jim Tetlow with presumably our name projected on to them. We hit the classical world running with this outing for David’s Cello and my Violin - in the same world as the first but more overtly classical and the clouds have cleared. The title is an oddity - we were sat in a bar just across from a railway, not my favourite place but we were killing time. David was talking about a project he was involved with using projections. I lost the thread but that word stuck. It is as though here the music finds three Projections of itself onto three very different Surfaces with notably different outcomes.
[F1] -There we were, David and I - in cramped little studio space upstairs in his house, surrounded by his former Art Career - I also have a background in Art, if a little more publicly, in my case. So - we found ourselves with his Cello [Cleo] and my Violin [Violett],
and doubling the parts we became - at this instance - a string Quartet - with a layering of all sorts plugged into something else. Two pieces named for our friend flautist - vocalist Ola and her Daughter. We proudly and stubbornly retain her as the cover star of the album as did ‘The Smiths’ with their cover stars. We weren’t quite sure where we were going with this but leave it to us - we would become my largest collaboration at 28 albums - many double and even triple, with five Arkiv and bootleg albums. The 25th - gloriously - with renowned Italian Concert Flautist Sara Minelli - at the said W studio in Derby.
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.
That’s not quite how it happened. I was waiting for a bus at a crossroads - mid summer - the sun was high - the fields were parched, as was I. A figure in black came out of the haze toward me - he was carrying a case and his lapel badge read Cellist. He doffed his hat and I mine. It was the start of a bad novel but everybody needs a foundation myth. He said - chewing his cigar - “you going my way ?” And indeed I was.
Amazingly he lived just around the corner from Ola and Jim - making up an eternal triangle - the Heart of the ‘Leicester Underground’ as they styled themselves. Jim and I as [B] Tetlow and Broadhurst were already up to our 12th album [] Promise to return. Joanna Geldard and I - as [C] Etuda - had but two. Some strange Kats and I were recording as [D] ‘Revenge of the Umbrella People’ and Maureen Anderson and I had begun our work as [E] Anderson Morning with the Eponymous [] Anderson morning.
