Singularity Hammill Peter

It's an album of songs on which Peter plays all the instruments.... Peter’s last solo studio recording, Incoherence, was released in 2004, having been completed a day before he had a heart attack. Since then he’s been occupied with the Van der Graaf Generator reunion, first in recording Present and then in the run of live shows undertaken in 2005; he was also responsible for remastering the VdGG catalogue. In 2006 Veracious, a set of live duo performances with Stuart Gordon, was released and Peter also remastered the solo CDs which he had recorded for Charisma in the 70s. Little wonder, then, that when he came to write and record Singularity intimations of mortality and considerations of history both public and personal were uppermost in his mind. The main theme here is the long dive down into not being who we were.... Perhaps inspired by the early Charisma recordings, Singularity is absolutely a solo record on which Peter sings and plays all instruments alone.
