Trunk unearths Ron Geesin's quirky, anarchic score for Central TV's 1980 educational show 'Basic Maths', where he was tasked with representing mathematical theories musically - as you might imagine, the results are spannered. Radiophonic squiggles, proto techno experiments, out-mode jazz noodling - it has it all.
If you've absorbed any of Geesin's material in the past you'll know just how expansive his outlook is; the Scottish multi-instrumentalist and composer started off as the pianist in a jazz band, went on to collaborate with Pink Floyd and figured out a personal style that was so idiosyncratic (and future-facing) that he ended up scoring everything from arty indie films to BBC documentaries. 'Basic Maths' catches Geesin at his unhinged best, working for the ITV Midlands channel Central on his second commission following 'Leapfrog' in 1978. Geesin was employed as the Media Composer, and had decided there were enough voiceovers on these shows at the time, so decided to represent the mathematical concepts musically instead, relying on his own school maths to drive his compositions.
So on 'Plus and Minus Eight', Geesin uses lopsided electronic rhythms and ascending banjo twangs to mimick the counting, formulating a proto-minimal techno squelch on the psychedelic 'Accelerating Athletes' to prophetically represent physical activity. 'Halving Rectangles' shapes and reshapes itself, falling in-and-out of rhythm and hinging itself to wonky synth and beatbox workouts, while 'Jumping Pyramids' forms jagged shapes with saw waves and jerky, reverberating piano phrases. From track to track, there's the sense that Geesin was having fun with this one, using the educational prompt to nudge into weirder, wilder territory, but keeping things relatively tongue-in-cheek at the same time - it was for kids, after all.
He experiments with industrial ambience on the foreboding 'Composite Cookbook', circling spine-chilling pads with bursts of rhythm, and goes full Radiophonic Workshop on 'Child's Angled Views', conjuring up naive excitement by using bubbling synths and kosmische marimba clonks. Whether you remember the original show or not (we're terrified to say that we do...), this is another gem from the depths of the UK's eccentric regional TV vaults and an essential diversion in Geesin's vast catalog. |
