The Miles CD is dedicated to my sister Lesley. When my relationship with Catherine Clarke broke up in early April this year I fled to Amersham and imposed myself on Lesley and Michael for a few days.

During that time we watched a documentary on Miles Davis. I was tickled by the idea of simulating the sound of some of his material using computer music programs. Band In A Box, Tangent, Koan, Cakewalk etcetera were all used to make this music. All the tunes are mine, most of them done while I was staying at Amersham.

Backing and solos out of Band In A Box, how much of a cheat can you be these days with computer music? I wrote the tune, anyway.
