Lee Patterson - 'Seven vignettes' (sha07)
It's fair to say that a full length solo cd from Lee Patterson has been eagerly awaited by many.
1) 'Nine lucifers' - built from recordings of nine match burns
2) 'Springworks # 3' - a further example of Lee's work with small springs attached to his self-built contact mic'd springplate
3) 'Three hazelnuts burn' - Lee is well known for burning nuts & seeds - attached to specially adapted contact mics - & this track captures this side of his work to full effect
4) 'Butane, first movement' - close mic'd recordings of discarded lighters as they discharge thier contents & the sound of Lee's self-built Springrod instrument, played with an e-bow
5) 'From Formby Point to Gent' - combines sounds extracted from a large pinecone & contact mic recordings of a kettle & heating pipes
6) 'Butane, second movement'
7) 'Plateau # 1' - this last track comes close to Lee's live current live set-up: electric toothbrushes, Andrews liver salts in water filled wineglasses, springrods, springplate and amplified cd players alongside a recording of the studio's central heating system.
