Something There was written in Australia, commissioned by Cryptic Productions (Glasgow) for Beckett Time - a festival celebrating the life and work of Samuel Beckett. The title is taken from Beckett's poem, Something There. Originally presented as a staged musical theatre piece directed by Graham Eatough, the piece was later re-structured and orchestrated for live concert performance and for the Linn recording. The album was launched with live performances by the DPJ Ensemble at the Music Hall in the Assembly Rooms, Edinburgh during the 2002 Edinburgh Festival followed by further launch dates at the Wigmore Hall, London and The Arches, Glasgow.
