‘Cognitive Disorder #3’ is one of those tracks I’ve done that thoroughly appealed to me while also standing out as something that seemed very unlikely to appeal to anyone else. I’ve already described how this was constructed over an improvisation with a bowed acoustic upright bass; in the 90s I was exploring the work of a lot of contemporary ‘avant-garde’ composers – Iannis Xenakis, Helmut Lachenmann, Tan Dun – and this was some of those influences soaking in… although polluted with a tincture of Nurse With Wound and Organum. The industrious bee, added in an early 00s revision, was recorded in the window of Steve Stapleton’s enchanted green caravan where I slept during my first visit to Cooloorta in November 2000.
