 EMANEM 4092: ALAN TOMLINSON / STEVE BERESFORD / ROGER TURNER
Beresford is a brilliant pianist and arranger, but here he concentrates on tiny electronic effects, while Turner largely gives his drum kit the day off and contents himself with a grab-bag of sound-producing objects.
Steve Beresford has deliberately limited himself to primitivist electronics, setting up pulses, tiny wrenches and singing tones, often operating on the level of what sounds like sensitive lead-waggling.
Steve Beresford's 'electronics and objects' are a constant, intelligent and evocative presence from top to bottom, painting beautiful contrasts and adding more than a stratus of pluri-dimensional ambiences to the set.

 EMANEM 4064: STEVE BERESFORD / PAT THOMAS / VERYAN WESTON
Beresford, Thomas and Weston have succeeded in creating a recording that is dense and intriguing because it does not thrash you about the room trying to keep up with all 264 piano keys.
Steve Beresford, on the other hand, has a penchant for lyricism and an intermittent desire to bring the intensity of the group to explosive levels; his voice seems to occupy the extremes of the dynamic and emotional range.
Beresford can be jokey and lays claim to a sort of anti-technique, but he's also technically very accomplished, and much of this music also walks that line.

 INTUITIVE RECORDS - IRCD 001
Steve Beresford's statement seems to hit the point: "The improvised music performances which don't work for me are those which are exactly trying to project an image of pure music which doesn't have the same problems that most music has and that most life has".
The quartet (Steve Beresford, piano; Peter Cusack, guitar; Terry Day, percussion; and David Toop, flutes) used to perform extended improvisations drawing on every possible genre, with each musician intentionally trying to destroy what the others were constructing - "irreverent musical collisions" in which "nothing was held sacred," to quote Day 's liner notes.
One is reminded of a comment made by Evan Parker to Beresford, to the effect that the pianist was perfectly capable of playing properly, but chose to sound like a child or a complete novice.

There are a couple of fantastic moments that alone are worth this CD, the top being a fantastic Concerto for Paul Rutherford (conceived by Steve Beresford) where the master trombonist draws lots of beautiful sketches, his instrument indicating trajectories and concepts to the very few who will be able to reach such heights.
Steve Beresford's Concerto for Paul Rutherford is a 'conduction', with Beresford steering the improvising ensemble while trombonist Rutherford plays without external guidance of any kind.

 [No title]
Beresford has done a ton of other stuff, some of it quite silly (and in my opinion only occassionally effective) like the couple of 10" records that I used to have by him on Chabada: "L'Extraordinaire Jardin de Charles Trenet" and the one about Doris Day (can't remember the exact title).
There was also a record with Tristan Honsinger from 1980 which was just too dificult for me (and which I'm pretty sure is still in my box full of sale records, not that anyone would be interested).
But by far my favorite Beresford record was the old General Strike cassette on Touch (about '84, but recently reissued on CD, though I haven't seen it yet).

Beresford is the name party here: he has played with all manner of people, from African Head Charge to Flying Lizards, from The Slits to Jah Wobble.
