"Lament For the Rise and Fall of the Elephantine Crocodile is a vocal and instrumental work, on which I started working in 1979. This recording is meant to be one continuous piece; side A: solo singing & side B: the instrumental music of the bagpipe with singing. The piece itself is an experiment with reed & improvisational singing within the modal structure. The instrument could be played solo or as a drone accompaniment for voice. I originally built the bagpipe instrument out of plumbing fittings & pipes pumped by a large air compressor. I called it "An adapted bagpipe with sympathy". Since that time, the original instrument has been altered and improved for the stability of the air source and accuracy of the tuning"." http://www.emrecords.net/records/00089.html
