The work was originally composed by White in 1984, as part of an installation at Exhibiting Space by the systemic artist Keith Richardson-Jones. The composition was re-worked for live performance as part of the Open Sound Systems programme. Instrumentation: sequenced material (based on traditional bell-ringing changes) on a Yamaha CX5 Mk2 computer plus element of live performance on a small Yamaha synthesiser (DX100). The performance is affectionately dedicated to the memory of K.R-J. who died earlier this year.
