Tim Brookes
The own-name productions included here are mostly commissioned electronic and electro-acoustic pieces for dance performances, video-art soundtracks and museum installations. A very eclectic mix; some undoubtably quite a lot better than others.

Sculpted Sound is a series of fifteen metallic sculptures, created by Derek Shiel, which can be either used in performance as a set of musical instruments, or exhibited as a sculptural group. In 'Scraped, Bowed & Beaten' the sounds made by playing three of the sculptures using three separate techniques are digitally sampled, and the samples are used to perform the three compositions.
Broadcast on Classic FM, BBC Radio 3 and BBC Radio 4 in February 2000.
Also featured on FMR-5, the sampler cover disc of issue 18 of the
FMR contemporary music magazine
Avant, Spring 2001.

Aria sung by Jude Brereton.
Perfect Moment sung by Alison Arnaud.
Alternative music soundtrack for Luc Besson's film "The Fifth Element", written as a sort of theme and variations type thing. Tracks 1 to 21 include all the main variations, one of which -
Aria (the Diva Plavalaguna) - is the alien opera and another of which -
Perfect Moment - is the playout song. The back inlay for the CD lists the SMPTE start-time cues in case you want to press play at the appropriate points while watching the DVD of the film. Alternatively,
Fifteenth Helmet (Full Music Soundtrack) includes all the other tracks listed, plus about another 40, runs for the entire duration of the film (so the audio and video elapsed time displays should match if they're in sync) and contains a little over 80 minutes of music, interspersed with sections of silence.
