Self-released – none
COLOSSUS was initially released as a download project that consisted of 50 tracks all of which were 50 minutes long. It was completed on 11th March 2019, my 50th Birthday.
Part One and Two of the download version combined are over 41 hours of 'music'.
The 'songs' are extreme, simple, complex, mellow, angular and often surreal adaptations of every single hit from the last 50 years that was at Number One in the UK charts on my birthday.
The music is either in the same key or with the same notes played but in a different order, backwards or inverted. Further music and notation has been added by myself. They are absolutely nothing like the originals.
Additionally, the words to the songs are formed from the lyrics to every Number One hit from the last 50 years. But with a twist. I adapted the lyrics by using the William Burroughs cut up method and further changed them to make some kind of structure, but they remain predominantly abstract and nonsensical.
This L.P. version is an instrumental, edited and consolidated collection of all 50 tracks in chronological order cut into 50 second extracts.
