This piece uses morning sounds: clock ticking, coffee percolator, and (in the last half of the piece) an alarm clock. It is the first of a loose collection of three pieces, the second and third being The Door and Glow in the Rear View Mirror. | MP3.com CD: Mostly Harmless - buy it!

Sundayalysis is a piece made up of the dismembered parts of recordings in a Catholic and an Anglican church on a single Sunday morning. The singing is from a service featuring gregorian chant and a motet, and the bells and ropes are from the bell tower at Christ Church, Elbow Park. (The sound of straining ropes was taken from the bell chamber itself, and the sound of the bells was taken from hanging the mike out the window.) The piece was compiled on a Macintosh computer in the Electronic Music Lab at the University of Calgary | MP3.com CD: Mostly Harmless - buy it!
