Where would we be without a “show me your workspace” thread.
Now I’m approaching my ‘veteran’ years I work a lot at home, with the family scraggling round, so I’m mostly focussed on comfy chairs and a thick, childproof door.
What’s yours look like? 🎹💙

Musical memories seem to go into a similar deep part of the brain as smells. They’re often some of the last to fade when we age, and that striking sense of being transported when you catch a song fragment … feels like one of core elements of being human.
What’s your earliest musical memory? 💙🎹

I heard the trailer for @hannahpeel.bsky.social ‘s new Radio 3 show, brass banding, and it took me right back - Batley Grammar School band, then the Yorkshire Post, then the Albert Hall! Amazing music making, rooted in the community, and open to all. Long live the brass band. 🎺💙🎹

Last night was the 1st real step on my new recording project “The Seasons”, with a trip to the Painted Church, Cambridge to hear The Gesualdo Six.

Do come & walk along with us.

We planted a weeping cherry tree in our garden before Christmas, and are just seeing it come into blossom for the first time. In case you needed something beautiful to balance out … all this. 🎹💙

Much of the debate around AI 'art' surely misses the point that art is as much about the practice and making, as it is about the outcome. Typing a prompt and clicking on an image or track is the thinnest, most meagre experience of making art or music I could possibly imagine. 🎹💙

None of the music streamers are perfect, and some seem inherently destructive to the music ecosystem, but Bandcamp seems the most authentic way for musicians and listeners to connect.

Book tip: Jeremy Eichler's Time's Echo draws a series of original, compelling connections between composers in the run-up to WW2 + puts their music in context in a way I'd not read before. It's sent me back to listen to the music with fresh ears too, which is always telling. 💙🎹

I’ve written a lot of music for TV over the last 6 months, and while I’ll never not be grateful to accompany such wonderful shows as Unforgotten and Sister Boniface, it’s always a good feeling when the musical pendulum swings back to my own projects.
