Note: Stevens, Watts, Parker, Brighton, Smith, Mattos, Coombes and the cellists formed the Spontaneous Music Ensemble of that session. All were musicians he had been working closely with in the recent past, except for Jane Robertson was visiting London at the time. To turn this into the Spontaneous Music Orchestra, Stevens added 11 of his current workshop musicians as e.g. Herman Hauge whose ensemble played frequently at that time at Little Theater Club. "The music was designed to be performed by musicians of varying abilities. It commences with just the workshop musicians playing his piece Search & Reflect - a basic concept designed to make musicians listen to and react to each other. After about 5 ½ minutes, the other, more experienced musicians joined in playing long notes, and the piece evolved into a Sustained section. The music continues this way, with freer improvisations inserted, for the next 23 minutes (with Evan Parker playing some very high sustained notes towards the end of this section). Around 29 minutes from the start, Trevor Watts leads the music away from this semi-static state into a freely improvised final section."
Note: Reissued on CD as "Spontaneour Music Orchestra: PLUS EQUALS" (Emanem 4062) in 2001. The original 5 tracks are now condensed in one track "Plus Equals" (40'45). The CD includes a second track "SMO AT LTC" (20'21), recorded January 24, 1974 at the Little Theatre Club, London.
