Hi Stuart – i suspect my cassette of 'Esperance' is lurking in the roof somewhere. You should be able to get a copy from United Music Publishers – it was they who supplied my cassette, some years ago. Let me know if i can provide any further info for your thesis; i studied composition privately with Richard Barrett over a 6-year period, & so have a fairly intimate understanding of so-called 'New Complexity' (ugh). Furthermore, it seems to be applied to my own work (grr)…

Stuart

Many thanks… I was worried that I’d missed some important document! Since I am writing my thesis on “new complexity” I wouldn’t want to miss something! BTW do you have a recording of Esperance – I’ve listened to the amazon preview and it does indeed sound very different to his general approach during the 80’s (i.e. topologies or tilt)

Hi Stuart; you've mis-read what i wrote; it's a semicolon after the word "essay", not a colon! The essay & source were referred to a sentence or two earlier: "Four Facets of the 'New Complexity'", Contact, No. 32. i believe time has told whether it was worth including Dench in among those other luminaries…

Stuart

Where would it be possible to find the article you refer to as “time, bless her, has certainly told” – I’ve searched through the academic journals and can’t find it there.
