about

Vegan Permaculture (1995) was so named because notions of sustainable agriculture/forest gardening were a twin obsession while writing the work, in particular the research done by Ken Fern in Cornwall. Only after initial rehearsals did I realize that that view of nature, cooperative rather than competitive, is reflected in the non-hierarchical interactions of the four instruments. It is fitting that Rusty Banks performs the work, since I wrote it at his prodding, and with four drumming guitarists like him in mind. The four instruments are restrung and retuned, with twelve high E strings (each tuned to a slightly different "E") in alternating positions - this in order to facilitate a hybrid tuning system relating overtones to fundamentals from a Pythagorean system.
