Music

From 1980 to 1997, Haworth Hodgkinson composed and recorded approximately 100 compositions. Few of these recordings have been heard by more than a small group of close friends.

Since 1997 he has produced few new compositions, but has continued to produce music for theatre, dance and poetry projects, often improvised. It is in this context that most people will have come across his music.

His interest in improvisation was further stimulated in 2007 by a weekend workshop with Fred Frith at the Sound Festival in Aberdeen, and he has since played with Susanne Olbrich's Strange Little Orchestra in Forres and Findhorn and the Glasgow Improvisers Orchestra at the Sound Festival in 2008.

Meanwhile he maintains an intention to return to composition, to revisit pieces that were left incomplete in 1997, and to re-record or remaster some of his earlier compositions. The list of compositions here is simply a list of titles of selected pieces he intends to revisit.
