Roger Doyle "Oizzo No" LP privately issued by the composer through Thust Records (THR 3) in the UK, 1975. First press edition limited to 500 copies. ****** Rec:m- Cov:ex ****** After leaving school Roger Doyle attended the Royal Irish Academy of Music for 3 years studying composing, during which time he was awarded 2 composition scholarships. 'I am a composer', he thought. His works "4 Sketches" and "All the Rage" won respectively second and first prizes in the Dublin Symphony Orchestra's composition competition, receiving performances when Roger was in his early 20s. Around this time he was also teaching piano (composing "6 Pieces for Pupils who Don't Like Exams"), and being a drummer in jazz/rock and experimental improvisation groups. He hung up his drumsticks when he was awarded a Dutch Government Scholarship to study electronic music at the Institute of Sonology, then in Utrecht. By saving his scholarship living expenses money Roger financed and came back from Holland with his first LP under his arm "Oizzo No" (1975), a mixture of acoustic and electronic pieces. A further scholarship took him to the Finnish Radio Experimental Music Studio for a year. CBS Records released a second LP titled "Thalia" in 1978. A third LP was released in 1981 on the London United Dairies label "Rapid Eye Movements", his masterpiece before the age of 30. Since then Roger has worked extensively in theatre, film and dance in particular with the music-theatre company Operating Theatre which he co-founded with actress Olwen Fouere. Operating Theatre released singles with CBS and Mother Records in the 80s (the latter produced by Bono of U2) and also mounted several theatre productions integrating music as an equal partner. In his 30s he worked in many styles, allowing the influences of pop music to filter through. He was one of the first people in Ireland to work on a Fairlight Computer Music Instrument. If you say "I don't know" in a Dublin accent it sounds like "Oizzo No". Original released on vinyl by Thrust Records (THR 3) / Self released in 1975, in a limited edition of 500 copies.
