about

Some improvised piano recorded in 2015, then some random four-track and cubase recordings from the late 1990s, some of which ended up on the ill-fated 2001 Benjow CD release "White Ships". I am not sure what happened to "White Ships". There were about 50 made and I sold some through Big Star in Adelaide. I don't know where the rest are. There was a lot of techno-ey stuff on it that no one liked and a badly photocopied cover featuring one of my paintings from my exhibition "The Sky Comes Down to the Ground". The piano improvisations are me trying to remember the way I used to play the piano in my parent's garage when I was a kid. "The Opposite of Edifice" was also the name of a CD I made just after "White Ships" which was even less liked. I really like the name though. It kind of sums up my musical output exactly. "Forgetful Jones" is the name of my favourite muppet in Sesame Street and I think some of it (or other versions) were used in a Restless Dance performance called "Revelations".
