I accepted, and a memorandum of understanding was swiftly drawn up. The offer was made under the condition that I might make some music from them, given my penchant for infirm instruments, and their conventional worthlessness to anyone wishing to use them for their intended purpose. There seemed to be an auspiciousness surrounding these harpsichords, the stories they might reveal, and more importantly, the promise of setting them alight in some sort of sacrificial bonfire after their usefulness had expired. In making this music, no one could have anticipated just how generously these instruments would surrender, or the extent to which they were capable of generating music of such singularity and belligerence.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCD 1: All Three, Together\u003cbr\u003eMatthew Bourne \/ Glen Leach \/ Nika Ticciati - harpsichords.\u003cbr\u003eRecorded and mastered by Chris Sharkey\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCD 2: Each One, Separately\u003cbr\u003eMatthew Bourne - harpsichord with Nightports (Adam Martin \u0026amp; Mark Slater) - electronics.\u003cbr\u003eRecorded and mastered by Mark Slater\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRule\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBurn All Three\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eQuincy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHandkerchief\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTicknall\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Helmet Of Disaster\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRed Brick\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCharles\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRed Badger\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWound\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRed Handed\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe Love Having You Around\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarded\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClosure\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep Both\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrown Bins\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54420714848641,"sku":"2361076","price":18.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/5051078011622.jpg?v=1750620600","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/2361076","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
