Visual Depictions Of July Scaledown Found

The last Scaledown before our traditional summer break was an emotional affair for all involved, like the end of term at a school in the 70s (only without the board games). Fortunately our camera man was there to capture the highs and lows of yet another splendid evening, the results of which can now be viewed on this page here. |

Reduced Released
 |
The Orchestra Pit Recording Company is chuffed to present to you their latest offering which is entitled 'Reduced' by Mike Adcock and Sylvia Hallett. Two renowned artists on the free improvisational circuit, Mike and Sylvia have collaborated to provide you with an album of improvisational beauty; complex and simple at the same time. The music ranges from the exploration of sound textures drawn from a variety of non-musical objects (bicycle wheel, marble chute), to tonal pieces utilizing more conventional instruments such as violin, piano accordion and guitar. 'Reduced' is now available to buy in our shop. |
