Phase Matrix comes from a period when I was exploring the potential of using a nine digit ‘cypher’ to generate the rhythmic, pitch and structural organisation of my music at several levels. The cypher [532214451] adds to a total of 27 units. In Phase Matrix the smallest rhythmic unit is the semi-quaver meaning that a complete rhythmic statement of the cypher can be given in 3 x 9/16 bars.

Sections created in this way form the smallest structural unit of the piece [the 5th and 9th sections respectively]. The longest section [1 and 8] are 17 bars in length and subdivide internally into yet another statement of the cypher proportions [ie 5bars 3bars 2bars etc]. Similar processes in each section give the work a fractal nature - where the same proportions determine the small-, middle- and large-scale structure of the work. Phase Matrix was written for Magnetic Pig.

First Performed by Magnetic Pig at the BIG MAGNETIC PIG GIG Fly By Night Club April 1993
