about

I'd love to turn… is an orchestral composition by John Oswald commissioned by the BBC, which premiered on May the 10th 2014 as part of the Tectonics Festival in Glasgow Scotland, directed by conductor Ilan Volkov.
The piece revisits the late Sixties through the music of György Ligeti, Terry Riley, and The Beatles.

lyrics

version:
delta 1.1 — 9nov2022
. " 1.2 — 8dec – level adjustment
. " 2 — 12feb2023
. " 2.2 — 26feb
epsilon 2.4 — 26mar

Oswald has a nomenclature system indicating the state of completion of tracks and albums; it’s based on the computer software versioning lingo, which was common by the 1980’s when he began to apply a numeral system to indicate revisions in the Mystery Tapes https://x-tapes.bandcamp.com/album/x-mystery-tape-sampler. Here’s the greek letter code with his caveats:
alpha — in this state i would only play something for someone if i’m in their presence to make comments about omissions, adjustments, inevitable changes to be made, et cetera.
beta — these tracks are sometimes accessible to selected individuals, and are usually indicated as rough mixes, rough edits, or general roughhewn roughage.
gamma — programmers refer to this as a “release candidate”. which means this might be a final version, but i might change my mind.
delta — this indicates that the track is more certainly suitable to inflict upon the world; which does not mean that i won’t make little tweeks; hence the accompanying version numbers. the delta symbol is ∆ which i’ve also used to begin the titles of a group of compositions particularly focused on sound as some would distinguish the term from music.
epsilon — this would indicate that i would be crazy to make any more changes.
