1989 - An excerpt of a radio piece commissioned for The Listening Room on ABC FM. The work threaded together several spoken passages taken from Virginia Woolf (The Waves & Mrs Dalloway)- the music presenting an evocation of imaginary landscapes that I attempted to grow out of clues in the texts. This is one such interlude.

I was doing research into Musique Concrete at this time and this segment is almost didactic in the way a snippet of locally-recorded birdsong is repeated in different treatments & guises. In this case it's simply one way to treatment an audio fragment: preserving it's identity as a kind of 'phrase' but as if turning it over in one's hands to examine it from different angles.
