3CD - Network - Volume one: 55 music miniatures - Download only

Archer conceived the Network project in 1993. The concept was simple to advertise worldwide for contributions by soundsmiths working in any genre,with the single condition that no piece should be longer than 90 seconds.Archer's contribution was to arrange the miniatures into a creative running order, and then to digitally edit (with massive help from Matt Wand and Daniel Weaver)the individual tracks into one continuous flow of music. Volume One is a fast moving snapshot of personal music lives and activities from many countries, including electronics, contemporary classical, improvisation, free jazz and totally unclassifiable works in the course of its 78 minute journey. In this opera for characters who nevermeet, Archer's predilection for creating large scale structures while devolving responsibility for the detail in the music reaches its ultimate conclusion.Archer conceived the Network project in 1993.
