NICKY HIND
‘I do like the mesmerising quality oi repetition,’ says Nicky Hind while the voices in Philip Glass piece revolve out oi the sound system, and ‘I'm really looking iorward to the concert’ (Glasgow’s Third Eye, 4 Sept) ‘it’s a really important thing to play live, but we’ll do it all in one set, not breakthe mood and the structure.’ The ‘we’ includes two string quartets co-ordinaied by Lawrence Dunn, Larry Anderson on keyboards, Dave Mach, percussion and two reedsmen, Dick Lee and Steve Kettley, who take three each oi the six parts oi Hindsight and improvise over the score. This is the iirst periormance oi the work and the oiiicial album launch. Nicky composes at the piano. ‘I write the string parts on the synth then tape them on the tour track. . . it wouldn’t sound too good it I played the violin myseli although it was my iirst instrument.‘ Both his parents are music teachers, although he had little iormal music education and simply ‘asked Dad it a problem came up’. ‘People have called the music “New Age” but I don’t agree . . . it’s not eccentric oi seIi-indulgent. . . its just modern music.’ There is a contemplative, intense, even spiritual
tone to the work and Tom McGrath, iellow associate oi New York-based teacher, artist and musician Sri Chinmoy, adds his jazz-based piano technique to the album. Dependent more on the play at rhythmic melodic motiis over changing harmony than on architectonic structure, Hindsight is the first step in ‘making a career at my music . . . I‘d like to geta regular ensemble together.’ The group will bring the concert to Edinburgh in October. (Norman Chalmers)
