If you've ever thought of doing a spot of classical composition, here are a few tips. Ditch your pencil, paper and piano. Purchase one very large, powerful computer. Find one equally large, powerful new brain. Replace for your own. And get printing. For there's a new musical lingua franca and it relies on indescribably complicated computer printouts (spectrograms), wave analysis and new Pythagoreanism. Don't ask. What really matters is that it's called Spectralism, it's the future of classical music - and it actually sounds rather nice.

In 1929, when Thomas de Hartmann and his wife took leave of G. I. Gurdjieff at Gurdjieff's Institute near Paris, they left behind a steamer trunk filled with manuscript music, much of which is recorded here for the first time. The music was composed by Gurdjieff and de Hartmann in a collaboration witnessed daily by the community of Gurdjieff's pupils and documented both in de Hartmann's book Our Life with Mr Gurdjieff and in the well-preserved sequence of manuscript drafts. One thing is clear: an exceptional musical event occurred at the Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man in the years 1925-27, and its enduring result is this body of music.
