Interview with Bryn Harrison by Marat Ingeldeev

On 15 March 2024, I made the unwise decision to attend the London premiere of Towards a slowing of the past while battling an incubating flu. Following Morton Feldman, your work seeks to disorient the listener—a goal that, needless to say, you achieved, overstimulating me well beyond what I could bear at the time. Revisiting the piece later on BBC Radio 3 and now on Another Timbre, I found it utterly mesmerising, with your use of electronic processing particularly fascinating. How do live electronics fit into your philosophy of time, memory and cyclic structures, and what role do they play in the piece?
