Marvellous review by @carolinefrmus.bsky.social in Tempo (July) of @clarehammondpiano.bsky.social's release of my disc (Hände – Music for Piano): "Brilliantly performed by Hammond, all the works on this disc would be a welcome addition to the repertoire of pianists interested in contemporary music."

Very happy to announce that my orchestration of Lili Boulanger's charming Trois Morceaux will be receiving its Irish premiere with the fabulous Ulster Orchestra, conducted by violinist, composer, and conductor Fiona Monbet - 24/10/25 at Ulster Hall, Belfast. If you're free and local - come along!

Another wonderful review for @clarehammondpiano.bsky.social and her recording of my piano works on 'Hände - Music for Piano' - in Musical Opinion (5*****) Thanks to her, NorthernAudioProductions, Paldino Music for the handsome release, and to Paul Conway for such a glowing write up.

Developments on my #musicbox project. The drive, rollers, and mounted music box, and the first test section of the finished music for the 30 note (in F) box. Piezo mic and stepper motor to come. Slowly but surely…

Very happy to announce that my music box, stop-motion animation and chamber ensemble project has been generously supported by @vwfndn.bsky.social and @rcmlondon.bsky.social for performance at MusicatOxford later this year. Thank you for your ongoing support, your time, and belief in the project.

Clearing out papers one finds forgotten stuff, viz. the original reduction MS to the orch. version of a wind piece (Diaghilev Dances). Should have sharpened my pencil.Thanks to all who’ve tackled this piece!

Should you be free to tune in, Radio 3 will broadcast the BBCphilharmonic, conductor Mark Wigglesworth, in their concert from 11th January this year celebrating Boulez and Ravel (my orch. of Sites auriculaires inc.). Daphnis, Pavane, and the G concerto, as well as Boulez Rituel. 11th March, 7:30pm

Mark Wigglesworth and the BBC Philharmonic during rehearsals at Mediacityuk for their Boulez/Ravel concert at Bridgewater Hall. Had such a great time. Thank you everyone #bbcphil #raveledition #markwigglesworth

A fabulous night with incredible music making. A joy to hear everything (my first live Rituel too). Bertrand Chamayou was the superb soloist, and Mark Wigglesworth commanded a fantastic orchestra and was thrilled to hear my orchs. of Sites auriculaires. Broadcast 11 March Radio 3

A page from Entre Cloches - my orch. of Sites auriculaires by Ravel (2 piano original). Very much looking forward to tonight’s concert at the #bridgewaterhall
Enormous thanks to the #bbcphilharmonic and Mark Wigglesworth for their work in bringing everything to life with so much brilliance 🤗

Seen it emptier, but probably the earliest I’ve seen anyone tinkling the ivories. Rather sappy pop songs but you have to admire his energy first thing in the morning…
In any case, off to Manchester to hear the premiere of my Ravel orchestration with Mark Wigglesworth and the BBC Philharmonic!

Not something I see everyday (an article on me in Japanese that is, my face I see pretty much everyday…). English text after Japanese! Thank you to Wind Band Press!!

Thank you once again to @clarehammondpiano.bsky.social, Anna Rakitina and @ulsterorchestra.bsky.social programming Uncoiling the River, and to the ABO and Resonate scheme for their assistance and funding. It was a wonderful performance, and the audience incredibly receptive and appreciative!

Recently arrived - my own copy of this gorgeous score. Many thanks to Ravel Edition and François Dru.
