This is the fourth (and final?) volume of this collection - lasting around 28 minutes over six pieces, these recordings came from a tape I made in my school building as my GCSE examination submission for Music. The school bell can be heard in full on track six LOL
It's flamboyant improvisation to tunes I wrote between 1990 and 1991. I was in pretty good form in terms of playing ability compared to now, and the musical imagination was pretty decent. They're definitely not "mature pieces", in fact they're barely pieces at all, but it's interesting how even back then I had a healthy disrespect for the boundaries of "individual pieces", and rather tended to think anything and everything could be tossed together.
It's not as cringeworthy as volumes 2 and 3, and is much more like volume 1, and is from broadly the same time (I suspect a bit earlier). Do bear in mind that the sound quality's what you'd expect: it was remastered from a 15-year-old cassette tape, so it's 48khz mono. (Mono because the source was.)
UPDATE: 2nd of April 2006: added competition feedback sheets and school reports in JPEG format.
This tape was quite a find - labelled simply "Six GCSE Pieces", it's in fact one of my favourite tapes of that early period. I would have been 16 most likely, possibly 15. Anyway it's highly improvisational and jazzified and well I hope you like it.
