Long weekend in Strasbourg for me to hear Ensemble Semblance perform "Between The Smallest of Spaces" as part of Tiny Moon Festival. An amazing programme and a really cool looking line up of performances! (and of course tartes flambées) www.visitstrasbourg.fr/fiche-sit/F2...

6 sleeps more until the premiere of Black Box Communion as part of this year's LSO SoundHub! Tickets are apparently selling well (who'd have thought!) so if you want to come, get booking!! Hopefully see some BlueSkyBuddies there 💙

Sat down with Patrick to have a lovely chat about a new project coming up, read the full interview here! (loads of other great bits on the Prxludes website so have a nice little rummage around in there)
Our today on @prxludes.bsky.social, my interview with British composer @hugobell25.bsky.social! We chatted about his new work as part of the @londonsymphony.bsky.social Soundhub, heartbeats as time, DMX lighting, learning new skills and being “wired differently”…

I wrote about the Enghiblification and what it means for how we read images @irishtimes.com! Briefly mention @nathanjurgenson.bsky.social’s great book The Social Photo which has been v helpful in thinking about how the web changes how we think about pictures…

Putting the final touches on a mammoth project, probably time to start promoting a bit!

Come and hear (possibly) my most ambitious piece to date, for trio, PPG sensors, live electronics and reactive lighting!

Woke up this morning with this old piece by Micky Finn on my mind. Remember seeing it at the Proms back when I'd only just started composing "seriously". Phenomenal piece for so many reasons youtu.be/mfJuxTJbOHA

It's been a while since I've come across PGH's music, but this piece is absolutely bonkers. Written in 1967!!
