Fancies
Cassette (E101)

Fancy: a 17th century term generally describing a composition in
which form is of secondary importance. Fancies were usually contra-
puntal and in several sections. (The Oxford Dictionary of Music,
second edition)

This cassette offers six items of unsettled material, decidedly too
compelling to be amalgamated into more complex structures.
They are compiled and presented as such to allow for reciprocation
between each, despite their fanciful conditions and/or behavioural
disparities.

The cassette format was chosen as the most suitable method of
presentation, being an increasingly iconic symbol of marginalisation,
however prosporus. My personal interaction with the format allows
for listening of a different kind, the kind that successfully suggests
to me, and thus supports, a notion of ‘works in parenthesis’.

I dedicate this cassette to James’ car
