about

Under Drum - Drum music, Dm 12 - my 55th album. The third volume of my ‘Isabel Studio Drum Studies.
.
This album, like Dm 11 'April Awaken' before it, is a volume of largely out of studio recordings. The location for these though are not lake shores and Canal sides, but the cool ambiance of a Village Church.

Three Quarks for Mr Mark - Rh 212.

A Slight misquote from James Joyce - as I knew it from the world of Particle Physics. "Three quarks for Muster Mark!/Sure he hasn't got much of a bark/And sure any he has it's all beside the mark.” from James Joyce's Finnegan’s Wake. The word quark is an
English verb, meaning "to caw, or croak," Though Created with Drums in and wiith the Studio, the piece more properly belongs with my Electronic music, but to stretch the point, it is an electronically enabled Drum work, for Drums, so I think the Designation as Drum music is safe enough.

Underdrum – Rh 257.

The last true Studio Drum Study. Dm takes a long Break as I concentrated on large scale Electronic works. I returned to it with a 2nd and 3rd set of inventions for Djembe at album 92, at the end of my ‘Inner Blue Group.’ I then concentrated on large Scale multi part Works and Collections, exploratory still but with the greater focus of experience - a corner was turned with Underdrum, so the Album bears it’s name.

Rh 278 – 28.

Four live Pieces – ‘Motion, Offering, She is the one and Hammerjack,’ - given at St. Nicolas’ Church, Allestree, near my Home and Studios. I love this church's acoustics and it foreshadowed my up coming Works in the even more amazing acoustic of the W Studio.

(-) Julian and Ella Drum

In a summer with the Charming but disconcertingly unknowable, Ella Summers, dancer extraordinaire and sometime drummer.


An early reorganization of my music research interest defined my music into dedicated sets of Albums. This way things of a kin got heard together - as one type of album or another - by Genre - or Tranche as I styled them. In this Case Drum music – 'Percussion specifically on Drums of various kinds - as a Speciality.’
Dm by convention.

Beginning as a percussionist my first 7 albums are for Drums of various kinds, Drum music or Dm, my first area of research interest or Tranche. I soon realised there was a second area of percussion, as a generality over a specialism - percussion on anything other than Drums, MPm. The third of five was the Phase music, realised by tape looping and timing, Phm. The fourth, a genre of Electro Acoustic composition, Music for Strings, Electronics and Percussion. Last of the five is Electronic music - Music taking the longest processing detour from an original acoustic source.

Albums number 28 to 58 form my second big publishing project or Group - the 'New Horizon' - built on the foundational 'Blue Cherry' Group - where I had introduced my 5 areas of research interest, as Blocks of dedicated albums. Now in a new air I felt free to just reel them of as they came. Exploring like a man with a Time machine - where these five Genres, or Tranches, might lead me.

There are 5 Dm albums in the New Horizon Group, Dm 8 to 12. Dm 8 is 'Inventions for Tibetan Drum;' Dm 9 is the Concert piece 'Sonata for 3 Drums' which is the third piece in my Birthday Triptych. Then follow three collections of Drum studies, my ‘Isabel’ Studies, after the new ‘Isabel’ Studio - Dm 10 ‘High Abandon’ - Dm 11 ‘April Awaken’ and Dm 12 ‘Under Drum.’ Dm 12 marks a completion of a kind – and a long break from Drum music. I return to it with a 2nd and 3rd set of inventions for Djembe at album 92, at the end of my ‘Inner Blue Group.’

The DCM album numbers list volumes in a [for the most part] chronological edition - the ‘DCM Broadhurst Edition’ - Prepared for the British Library in 2019. The volumes or albums themselves were actually released as and when it was possible. The Edition though, was planed from the start to stand on the 'foundation Stone' of the Blue Cherry group.
