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!

Thank you to the hundreds of people who came; I spoke with as many as I could + heard so many interpretations + opinions that I could probably write a book 🤪

Thank you to Heath Street Baptist Church for letting us take over the church + trusting me with the keys!

Thank you to Frey Lawler + Pablo Baxter for sitting with Kat the whole time shaping the piece with their interferences on the stops.

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

If you don’t have a David Shrigley bookmark, do you even read bro?

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!

Hope you enjoy the part at the end where I get overrun with hundreds of puppies and kittens ^_^

I've identified the places in the UK that cause the most treble and need to give it a rest.
