“Self Organising Systems” by Evan Parker was a new PRS commission for Sonorities and Dialogues Festvials in 2012. The application to PRS was initiated by saxophonist Franziska Schroeder and devised with composer/improviser Martin Parker . They say: “Our aim for the project is to bring together musicians that represent a mix of traditional and contemporary performers.” A recording and more information is available at the project website.

Musicians for the Belfast performance were:
Tom Arthurs (trumpet)
Steve Davis (drums)
Ivan Goff (Uillleann Pipes)
Úna Monaghan (harp)
Evan Parker (soprano sax)
Pedro Rebelo (live electronics)
Franziska Schroeder (saxes)
