but "The music and effects for Peter Logan's "experiments towards Mechanical Ballet” were actually done by Brian Hodgson alone".[1]

In his interview with Wheel Me Out, Brian Hodgson says:

[I] also wrote scores for the structures in Peter Logan’s Mechanical Ballets.
“[The Mechanical Ballet] Square Dance was in fact four right angle pieces set at the corners of a square on motors which would revolve — they were absolutely amazing. The Tate Gallery bought Square Dance and occasionally exhibits it."
