Two upcoming Sound and Music Cutting Edge concerts with my stuff:
Thursday 12 November, 8pm | Part of The Cutting Edge: London
The wired-up harpsichord clatters, hums, pulses with feedback in an electrifying partnership with Meyer’s visceral dance. From finely-wrought miniatures to sonic shards, space and sound are transformed.
Thursday 19 November, 7.30pm | Part of The Cutting Edge: London
Live electronics combine with the distinctive timbres of traditional Japanese instruments

WIRED - Jane Chapman, harpsichord NMC D145
Jane Chapman, described as "Britain's most progressive harpsichordist" (The Independent on Sunday) and "a fearless contemporary music performer" (The Guardian), performs new works for harpsichord and electronics by Paul Dibley, James Dillon, Sam Hayden, Paul Newland, Roger Redgate, Sohrab Uduman, Mike Vaughan and Paul Whitty.
WIRED was developed and supported by the Sonic Art Research Unit at Oxford Brookes University to explore the unique cultural resonance of the timbre of the harpsichord from its sixteenth-century origins to its use by composers of the twenty-first century. All tracks except track 6 recorded by Paul Dibley. Tracks 3,4,8 and 10 produced by Paul Dibley.
Released: Februay 2009 Total Time: 67'06
Paul Dibley makes extensive use of live electronics (which he performs,as do the other composers within their own pieces), pre-recorded tape, and live harpsichord sound in his animated and explorative INV III and INV I. The first of these builds from simple harpsichord material set in a feedback loop with ricocheting background noise, before amassing a shape-shifting shadow play of mechanical and electronic sound. The second holds the two strata at more of a distance, more as partners than as unity, though an interesting tension pervades the piece that suggests a fruitful coupling of the two, which is nevertheless always thwarted.
