Before after my double shift where I played 56 pages over 3 hours - could have easily played another 56 straight away, this is seriously spacetimeless music, playing 1 page is no different from playing 100 pages

Cannot believe I have this on my wall. A score of John Cage’s, signed by John Cage. One of the most generous gifts I have ever received!

Thank you Andrew Toovey, I will never forget this and I will treasure it for the rest of my life 🥹

The names of the 75 composers who contributed a bar to "I Hate Suitcases" for piano, darts and caller.

We performed it on the 8th September and now hope it will be taken up by others!

[Composers, if you spot an issue with your name/bar, let me know and I will fix]

"For Samuel Beckett" was premiered at Heath Street Baptist Church across the last weekend in August by organist Kat Farn who played for a total of nineteen hours!

There are no appropriately grandiose words to describe how grateful I am to her for taking on this enormous monster!

I remember when I first learned that alcohol, taken in sufficient quantities, may produce all the effects of drunkenness and just thinking how wild that was!

I no longer wish to be known as a composer, from this day on please refer to me only as a soundshitter.

When you start a new novel and there’s a sentence which ignites in you the feeling that the author:

1) knows exactly what they’re doing
2) has written the book just for you

Would love to hear your own examples of this!
