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.
Call for works Short Electroacoustic / Computer Music / Sound Art compositions (5 minutes or shorter) are required for the Sonic Art Oxford Jukebox.
The jukebox will be available 2-3 April at Sonic Art Oxford and will also be placed online on the Sonic Art Research Unit's webpages at Oxford Brookes University. The event, which takes places at the Jacqueline du Pré Music Building Oxford, will also include concerts of electroacoustic music, and concerts and workshops by Jos Zwaanenburg and Okeanos.
The jukebox will form the central part of the sound installations in the Brian Duke Foyer.

InvIII, the latest in a series of compositions for harpsichordist Jane Chapman, is reviewed in an SPNM New Notes review:
'Dibley's inv III stood out as an effective integration of the two forces [instrument and live-electronics] with both flowering in symbiotic empathy. The music seemed like an extrapolated journey through the instrument's history with past references focused electronically on to new horizons.'
