David Gorton, Head of Research Studies at the Royal Academy of Music, is a composer unafraid to use 'straight' instrumentation, electronics and also collage techniques to express himself. This means that a program of only four works, all quite extended, is full of variation; from the Sonata for CEllo with electronics, deep in the contemporary mainstream, to the eerie depiction of Orfordness in England, nature reserve and former secret weapons establishment; solo piano coupled with tapes from the USAF recording an UFO encounter in the vicinity. Gortn�s music may be modern but it is never abstract, always communicating about people and places.
