about

On cassette edition, boxed with a set of instruction cards which guide people through the creative process I followed when making the album,

Deadly Theatre, my first solo studio album, takes its title and inspiration from Peter Brook’s chapter of the same name in his 1968 text, The Empty Space. As Brook writes there: “To attempt to build a performance today in confirmation with past canons is the most certain route to deadly theatre – deadly theatre of a respectability that makes it pass as living truth…The deadly trap is to divide the eternal truths from the superficial variations.” In response, I conceived of an album of solo percussion recordings, entirely improvised over two days in the studio, with no advance preparation, aiming to create, compose, and arrange the whole thing in as close to real-time as possible.
