TONIGHT !!
Looking forward to this ! Music we'd like to hear. London Friday 31st October.

Playing the piano with the new music group George W Welch (reformed after a 30 year hiatus ! 😁) in a concert of music by the composer John White. Witty, genial and very enjoyable music. Hope to see some of you there !

Looking forward to reading these 2 intelligent commentators on the current #AI situation. Just an observation about the design though...somewhat TACKY 😂 When sounding alarms about AI probably best not to choose a cover that looks like a bad AI generation ! @garymarcus.bsky.social @parmy.bsky.social

Trailer for my new Orchestral piece - gives a good flavour of parts 1 & 3 which have a film music vibe about them. Part 2 is a radical dreamlike movement in #JustIntonation ! #Beethoven

Now I know Friday evening is not the best time to ask you lovely lot to listen to a 27 minute orchestral piece 😁 You'll likely be heading to the pub for a well earned pint, as am I, but can I ask that you find some quiet time to give this a listen? Ta🍻

A set of lateral #variations on the 3rd movement from #Beethoven #7thSymphony. You can listen here for free, please support if able to, thanks ! :

RIP Brian Wilson a great composer and arranger... Will never forget hearing as a child the opening of Sloop John B, and the songs Good Vibrations and God Only Knows... could almost taste the music it was so colourful. Thank you...A life well lived 💛 #BrianWilson

Here is a home studio version of my piece 'The Present' for #BassClarinet #Marimba #StringQuartet. It was given 3 performances in #Romania in last year. Would be good to get funding to record it with the original musicians ! I hope you like it #newmusic #musicscore

Here's a new #jazz flavoured tune. It was originally intended to be just a practice routine but the sequence was lovely and after the tune arrived - then the Khachaturian / Rachmaninoff inspired ending - I thought I'd better record it ! #Improvisation

Gala's Freed from Desire used to be one of my favourite tracks from the 90s. It's been done to death at sporting events nowadays, but it is kind of cool that it's got crowds effortlessly singing a tritone (the unusual interval between each refrain) 😁

I am vastly amused that the hubris of the 'Nerd Reich' tech bros in the good ol' USA has been rapidly lanced by the Chinese... that's a good thing. Turning into a Stan and Ollie-garchy 😂 #DeepSeek #Copyright #LisaNandy
