BBC Here and Now Broadcast - 21 February 2004 Sarah Walker introduced Canadian composer/electric guitarist Tim Brady, who is known for his innovative guitar work, but also for radiant orchestrations and dramatic structures. He has created music in a wide range of musical genres, from electronic sound through relative abstraction and Andreissen-esque minimalism to rock riffs. In this Hear and Now Invitation Concert recorded on 30 November 2003, his ensemble Bradyworks performed some of his works alongside those of British contemporaries Laurence Crane and Joe Cutler. And later, music taken from a recital given by organist Michael Bonaventure on 31 October 2003 from the McEwen Hall at the University of Edinburgh, including the soloist's own arrangement of Laurence Crane's 'Sparling'.
