(3/3) ‘Closeness’. There’s an immediate quality to Frank Denyer’s music that makes the listening distinctly intimate. In this video, Frank tells of closeness vs glamour.

(2/3) ‘Silence'. Our new CD (out Fri) has music best heard at v low volume - timbres meld, microtonal beats make new sounds & tiny pitches glisten thru opaque rattles. Here composer Frank Denyer talks about his time w the Plains Pokot people in Kenya & their relation w silence.

Enjoying this woozy thing - like close-up magic in that it may appear not much is going on but then it stops and restarts or tumbles into further chaos and you're somewhere else @SnVariations https://t.co/xolyniGw3G

So much fun playing more Frank Denyer with ⁦@_Octandre_⁩ last night ⁦@LCMF_⁩ !

[Sam Messer @sammesseruk]

Really enjoyed @LCMF_ last night, a kind of Tudor banquet of music, film and poetry. Highlights were Katalin Ladik, who performed (at 80!) as if her soul were coming out through her face, and Frank Denyer's delicate, almost mystical commission 'Five Views of the Path' @_Octandre_

[SN Variations @SnVariations]

Then another tomorrow
They never told me of
Came with the abruptness of a fiery dawn
And spoke of Cosmic Equations.
