In 1985 I was invited by the Tate Gallery to compose and produce music for a retrospective of Francis Bacon's work. I remember a crazy afternoon in the Colony Club in Soho which he frequented regularly. There were many colourful Soho personalities and the exhibition curator having a conversation with Bacon about my writing something for the show. He said that he liked listening to 50's jazz and Webern (a serial composer and contemporary of Schoenberg). So I combined both of those elements and produced something of what I felt Bacon's work did for me. As there was no budget for musicians, I used a church organ and an primitive sampling keyboard to play the various parts of the instrumentation myself. The resulting music feels clumsy and out time to me now, but I put this on YouTube chiefly as a document of Bacon talking about his paintings whilst wondering through room after room of his work which I suspect is quite a rarity. This was the Tate Galleries first attempt at creating a video record or memento of an exhibition which involved the artist actually wondering around it and talking about his painting .. something very common place these days.
