He used the cutting lathe currently residing in the living room of The Exchange mastering legend Graeme Durham to experiment with different sounds cut onto acetate and then recorded over different durations back into a computer. These are combined forming frames for performances of violin, percussion and piano.\nThe record will be released on a vinyl pressing of 250 copies and download on July 5th\n\n'Music For Lock Grooves is as much about fluidity as friction and restraint.It is precisely this dramatic dimension that makes it so captivating' The Wire\n\"These meticulously sculpted vignettes, rich in analog atmosphere, function a bit like film scores in their concision, but even the shortest pieces here pack a satisfying, self-contained wallop.\" Bandfcamp daily best of contemporary classical Peter Margasak\n\n\"The overall impression is one of mysterious wonder.

Analogue tape processing helps reshape things further, slowing and stretching the sound giving rise to unusual shapes and colours. And woven amongst all this are field recordings by Corker and Chris Watson, recorded around Liverpool in 2019. In addition to the field recordings, the ensembles were recorded in London and then replayed and re-recorded or ‘worldised’ (Walter Murch) in different buildings and outdoor locations in Liverpool adding new sound spaces onto the music. This is the third and final chapter in the Tin Star story, and the third time Corker has worked with many of the same players. Tin Star is a British television crime drama. Created by Rowan Joffe and broadcast on Sky Atlantic.
