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. 🎺💙🎹

I’ve updated my blog with a couple of articles about being a composer in an AI world, and music editing for films. All practical advice from a veteran! Feel free to share with any young composers and anyone entering the film & TV music game. 🎹💙

Clearly the sea meets the sky in lots of places, but there is something magical about the Suffolk coast at Easter. 4th year running taking the kids to Southwold … 🎹💙

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.

In 2025/6 I’ll be working with some amazing chamber ensembles + recording my new music with them in beautiful locations.

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. 🎹💙

Morning Poloroid taken by the budding 8 yr old photographer in the house. Bottom of picture shows vinyl storage issues, leading to the question: “can you ever have too many records?” 💙🎹

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.

I’ll be doing Bandcamp exclusives this year so do follow if you’d like to hear them.

Is there anything more simply satisfying than an electric pencil sharpener?

There will be new recordings, performances, talks/chats/appearances, and letters to write this year, so if you’re of a mind to, do join me on this next chapter. 🎹💙

I’ve got a pile of manuscript paper, a (relatively) quiet corner to work in, and a counter to count off the next 10,000 hours of composition.

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.

Roots are important, and family stories. The sense of being part of a longer line seems to mean as much to our kids as to me. Spending time back in Yorkshire and pointing out the house my Grandad built, high on a hillside to watch the weather rumble down the valley, grounds us all. 💙🎹

Skipton Castle is such a wonderful place to visit - on a very human scale, and yet with proper six-foot thick walls, and bits to fire arrows out of.

Beautifully kept, too. Wonder if they’ll let us move in … 💙🎹🏰

We’re huddled round the fire, watching the rain beat against the windows, and it couldn’t be a better way to end 2024.

Wishing you a peaceful New Year.

Back in Yorkshire, where we belong. Still working on teaching the kids the proper way to say ‘bath’. 🎹💙🛁

Last Abbey Road sessions of the year. Thanks to all the staff, musicians, fixers, tech gurus + whole family of people who make film&TV scoring in the UK the best in the world.

Watch out for new Unforgotten and Sister Boniface Mysteries in the coming weeks & months.

Merry Christmas everyone! 🎹💙🎄

Anyone else have an Apple Intelligence image thing that makes them look like a smiling serial killer? And there's definitely something of the Terminator T-1000 about that left eye ...

Not saying that Christmas is over-commercialised, but the quietest place on this high street is definitely the church … 💙🎹

Do we do weather updates on Bluesky? Feels like the clue would be in the name … ☃️
