about

The Tunesmiths challenge that resulted in this piece was to write music that used only a semi-tone/tone scale (ie where the notes go up by a semi-tone, then a tone, then a semi-tone and so on). Working out a musical sequence using this limited number of notes gave birth to an atmospheric and melancholic piece and I decided, instead of coming up with a sung melody, I would write a short script written in the first person for four people.

The setting is the aftermath of some sort of nuclear fallout where the speakers are forced to go underground and wait until it's safe to return to the planet's surface. Recording the spoken parts involved heading round to different friends' houses with my trusty digital recorder to record each person as they read their part of the script. To add variety, Les, the two Gavins and Andrea were chosen as they all had different accents.
