Muscle Memory is a new record I have made in collaboration with pianist Matthew Bourne (playing Memorymoog) and trumpeter Graham South. Comprising two composed sound pieces, it was released on vinyl in 2017. The pieces are structured around recordings made in the houses of each collaborator, documenting the act of listening to records. The compositions include conversation between composer and collaborators, samples of music from records heard/discussed, improvised instrumental sections, and electronically manipulated materials. Muscle Memory has since been presented to a number of audiences attending ‘living-room’ listening sessions – held in small, intimate and domestic spaces across the UK. Participative listening of this type is understood through Simon Frith and Christopher Small as an inclusive, collaborative, compositional action. The tactility (Mike D'Errico) and ‘objectness’ (David Grubbs) of records is also of importance. This text is a document of that listening experience.

肌肉记忆：无与伦比的记录感觉

肌肉记忆是我与钢琴家 Matthew Bourne（演奏 Memorymoog）和小号手 Graham South 合作制作的一张新唱片。它由两首合成的声音组成，于 2017 年在黑胶唱片上发行。这些作品围绕在每个合作者家中制作的录音构建，记录了听唱片的行为。作品包括作曲家和合作者之间的对话、听到/讨论的唱片中的音乐样本、即兴演奏的乐器部分和电子操纵的材料。Muscle Memory 已被展示给参加“客厅”聆听会议的许多观众——在英国各地的小型、私密和家庭空间举行。Simon Frith 和 Christopher Small 将这种类型的参与式聆听理解为一种包容性、协作性、组合性的行为。记录的触感（Mike D'Errico）和“客观性”（David Grubbs）也很重要。这篇文章是那种聆听体验的文档。
