I recently had the unmitigated pleasure of editing the new 60-page comic book by the incredible Jua OK. An allegorical story of a mountain pilgrimage, which explores themes of trans-ness and spirituality, ‘Road To Chimera’ is finally out in physical form!

The second Lost Crowns album, ‘The Heart Is In The Body’ is now available to pre-order on limited CD and download! It’s truly an extraordinary thing, and one of my favourite things I’ve recorded on. Expect illegal harmonies, and bars of all durations.

Recording my gorgeous new Paul Hathway cittern on the forthcoming Mediaeval Baebes album. This instrument was debuted on the recent tour in December, but this was its first time in the studio. It sounds magnificent!

Bonus skill! I’m starting to get into comics editing and pitch writing, and am currently working on multiple projects. If you’re a comic artist, this is now a thing I can do!

Hello Bluesky! I’ve not done one of these yet. However, I’m now in the position where I have shockingly little work over January and February. Please DM me if you need any of the following skills I possess, which I’ll list in the thread below. 👇

Earlier this year, my mum was diagnosed with dementia, which heartbreakingly has limited her capacity to read books. Yesterday, I asked if she’d like anything from town, and she said she’d like a nice book. I’m not sure if she’ll ever be able to read it, but it was worth it just to see her smile.

Final date of the Mediaeval Baebes tour last night, and our excellent merch girl Pearl made me this card for our secret Santa. One of my favourite things ever!

I’m extremely proud of the releases I was part of in 2024, which encompass everything from modern jazz and art-pop to avant-garde chamber prog and dark folk. One of the best years so far, and there’s loads to come in 2025!

Another thing I did recently was record a bunch of instruments for the new solo album by Gleb Kolyadin, virtuoso pianist of Russian chamber-prog duo Iamthemorning. Here are two of my faves: my Yamaha taishogoto, and my mid-20th century German zither. Look forward to the results in 2025!

Oh yeah, I prerecorded lyre for a scene in Gladiator 2, alongside some wonderful musicians.
