\nFor a full introduction to the interviews please see Gordon Crosse :: in conversation [1]<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

On our last trip to Gordon\u2019s it occurred to Mark that we should capture some of the conversations Gordon, Mark and I had about music and life, to share with others, not least because there is a lot of interest in Gordon\u2019s music and life as a composer and very little information about him in recent years. Mark and I talked about this with Gordon and all were in agreement it would be a good idea to proceed.<\/p>\n

\nThere is nothing academic or staged about these interviews. To avoid any formality we decided to adopt a conversational format, over several glasses of wine with an iPhone voice recorder left on the table – to record. The series of four conversations that followed are unedited; clanks, bangs, rattles, pops, jokes, conversation, laughter and all. They are rough and ready but to their advantage, natural, unselfconscious outpourings of life, music and more. This episode features Mark eating a packet of crisps very noisily throughout the first 10 minutes of our conversation – please bear with it!<\/p>\n

\nAs well as recording these \u2018in conversations\u2019, I decided to take photos around Gordon\u2019s house by investigating its corners, shadows and rooms to reveal something of the history and stories it tells.<\/p>\n

We hope you enjoy them.<\/p>\n
