“A couple of these first appeared in a visual/conceptual magazine
DAVINCI published by Alan Bealy while he was associated with Vehicule Art
Gallery in the seventies.
“Er/ah are sounds/words that form bridges between thoughts. They are
called fillers but I think of them as bridges and give them value .They not
only signal to the listener, wait, I have something else I want to say but hey
also become a bridge to that next thought. They also struck me as notes in the
score of oral composition/communication. I created the first composition by cutting
up a newspaper and creating a chance sequence.
“Part one has been recorded as a 3 voice piece on the LP Sounds Like.
Part 2, 3, 4 followed, influenced by the concrete and visual experimentation
that was going on around me at theVehicule Art Gallery in the seventies.”
