about

A unique double album, featuring the first recording of Frank Denyer's extraordinary 'Melodies' series from the mid-1970's. The project arose from Frank's ethnomusicological studies of the time, which had forced him to question the most fundamental elements of music. He had to ask himself 'what is a melody?' and 'what is a note?' His typically eccentric response was to write a series of 25 pieces, starting with single-note melodies, then melodies with two, three or four notes, gradually becoming more complex until the last piece, which contains 14- and 15-note melodies.
The album contains a 24-page booklet with an essay about the 'Melodies' project by Frank Denyer himself. A pdf of the booklet is one of the bonus items when you buy a download.
