Rubble Master by Robin Hayward
Rubble Master was released as a cassette on Cassauna in 2016, featuring two contrasting explorations of the microtonal tuba. Rubble Master explores noise production, with the lips and tongue acting as noise generators which are filtered using half-valve techniques. Underground Music uses live-electronics to simulate the movement of two related tunings moving in opposite directions, like trains through the abandoned underground station in which the piece was premiered.

The tuba player and composer Robin Hayward has introduced radical playing techniques to brass instruments, initially through the discovery of the 'noise-valve' in 1996, and later through the development of the first fully microtonal tuba in 2009. In 2012 he invented the Hayward Tuning Vine, partly out of a desire to visualise the harmonic space implicit within the microtonal tuba.
