Since the release of his Elastic Variations EP in 1994 Anthony Manning has been experimenting with electronics to create music that has happily sat outside the conventions associated with the medium. The results have met with some critical acclaim, a little bemusement and occassional hostility. Shortly after completing the Concision LP in 1997 his studio was broken into and most of the equipment stolen. Several new pieces have come about as a result, mostly unfinished, a couple complete.
Extracts are available elsewhere in the site.
2000 also saw the commissioning of a piece for two pianos by a Danish concert organiser, details of which can be found here. This episode awakened a dormant interest in creating similar works, and time is now divided between the two disciplines. The music has been used by dancers, both professional and of school age, and would particularly suit animation. If you feel that you could use it for a project mail here.
