  Tilbury - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tilbury is located on the north bank of the River Thames, in the borough of Thurrock in England, at the point where the river suddenly narrows to about 800 yards/740 metres in width.
Tilbury has a deep water port, a fort and was the site of an important ferry to Gravesend on the south bank of the river.
Queen Elizabeth I unwisely placed her main army at Tilbury (see Speech to the Troops at Tilbury) where they would have found it difficult to cross the river and prevent the attacking Spanish army from capturing London after it had been landed in Kent by the Armada.

 OSCN Found Document:TILBURY v. POWELL
Tilbury was proceeding west on said street in his automobile, accompanied by members of his family and two friends, when the left rear casing on his car was punctured and collapsed.
Tilbury, when struck, was seated on the pavement south of his car attempting to jack up the wheel and the son was kneeling beside him loosening the bolts which held the punctured tire on the wheel.
Whether Tilbury stopped his car two feet from the curb or ten feet therefrom, without turning on the lights, the instructions left to the jury the question of whether his act was the cause of, or contributed to, his injury.

 Keith Rowe and John Tilbury - Duos For Doris - Stylus Magazine
What Rowe and Tilbury’s mysteriously crafted expanses of rustled and chimed wire and static billows suggest is a self-created world at once individuated, self-contained, and yet keenly aware of its placement in personal and cultural history.
Tilbury’s muted sonorities gather into storm clouds near the piece’s midpoint, culminating in a searing display of tape-saturating crashes from pounded keys and slashing feedback ruptures.
What Rowe and Tilbury have crafted is a document brimming with rare detail and thought provoking turns, moving outlines of complex intellectual and emotional states that induce all the subtle and stirring insights associated with paradox.

The dominant instrumental voice is therefore that of the paired pianos, lending unprecedented clarity and perspective to the tempest of massed electronics.
Years of playing alongside Rowe in AMM have tuned Tilbury to the inexhaustible grainy subtleties of Rowe's tabletop guitar technique and electro-acoustic shadings, and so Mimeo's surging, seething conflation of extemporized electronic sound is less a cacophonous challenge than an even grander sonic setting for his singular pianistic prowess.
Tilbury tackles this star turn with consummate skill, drawing the most desirable devices from jazz, Erik Satie, and especially his own profound appreciation of Morton Feldman.

Tilbury Fort was constructed in the late 17th century, and replaced a smaller blockhouse built during the reign of Henry VIII.
The landward side was defended by a double line of moats that kept enemy guns at a distance, and brick revetted bastions at the corners of the fort that allowed its own guns to provide complete covering fire in front of the walls.
This style of fortification, known as the bastion system, was popular in Europe at the time, and Tilbury remains the best preserved example in Britain.

Tilbury remains resolute until he hears what needs to be released.
These chords soon gain gravity, clanging with a pained-- almost brittle-- sound commingled with thunderous low stabs on the piano, as Keith Rowe gathers metallic storm clouds in louder scrapes, reaching a catharsis that is the exact opposite to the eye of this hurricane, the center being the densest point in the music.
The final piece, "Oxleay", has Tilbury exacting ineffable filaments from the space, sometimes just the clack of a high key against the wire, while Rowe respires and hums at near-indiscernible volumes, often drowning in the outside sounds of ceiling fan hum and air conditioning, occasionally reminding you of his gentle presence.

Track maintenance is done on a there's-a-hole-let's-fill-it basis and marshalling is a word that doesn't have any meaning in the confines of Tilbury Kart Circuit.
