Lovely day at Abbey Road
Grateful to have my music played so exquisitely by the Carducci and Ligeti quartets

I’m now delivering my music in graphic score firms that are so complex, even the orchestra can’t read them
Unbeatably secure, and quite a departure from tonality

I was interviewed by Rob Hughes for @uncut_magazine about working as Scott Walker’s arranger and conductor
Brought back many strong memories.
RIP Scott x

I don't drink coffee, I take tea, my dear
I like my toast done on one side
And you can hear it in my accent when I talk
I'm an Englishman in New York…

I wanted a mocha
Stop judging me
It was awesome

It’s been a big week in many ways. IYKYK
So today called for something a bit different…
Plasma Fusion!

I was a very bad physics student at school-and yet I’m fascinated by it
Excited to return in order to record the hottest explosion on Earth in the near future…

Just finished this astounding puzzle box of a book by Richard Powers

The audio version is class itself
Any other fans of his on here? 💙📚

As someone who travels a lot, I take too much joy from terrariums (terrariae?)
This one contains moss from my favourite place to walk and compose music, as well as a lobelia that has probably exploded by now
