Having a wonderful time with Stephen Rinker at BBC Philharmonic HQ mixing my TECHNO-UTOPIA which we recorded in July. Some rarely-seen) instrument tracks in this piece including "stacco", "ROLI" and "big bit of wood". Steve is a genius - it sounds brilliant

In the studio in Glasgow recording my Post-Singularity Songs with @slampreasoprano.bsky.social and Alistair MacDonald 😁 coming to an album near you in 2026

Nice to be asked to contribute to British Council's timely new publication "Why Technology Needs Artists". In the company of some amazing people ☺️

Loved working with Zubin Kanga, Jack Sheen and the BBC Philharmonic last week on TECHNO-UTOPIA - concerto for piano, synths and embedded AI instruments. Look forward to sharing the recording soon. The orchestra were such a nice bunch 😍

I asked for a large sheet of metal for this piece but this really takes the biscuit

Had such a fun time running through the solo part for TECHNO-UTOPIA with Zubin Kanga today. Can you tell I listened to prog rock as a teenager

Having a great time in Basel talking about my work with Exoplanets and Music at the Space stage of Fantasy Basel comiccon!

Extremely fun and inspiring to be shown round the diamond light source synchrotron (particle accelerator) this morning 💎🔬

wow - somehow seem to be giving two talks on Exoplanets and Music in May with phenomenal astrophysicists and musicians! Lucky me!! Catch me at Oxford May Music or at the Swiss Comic-Con Fantasy Basel (which last year had attendance of 90,000?!)

Excited to announce “TECHNO-UTOPIA”, my new concerto for Zubin Kanga commissioned by the BBC Philharmonic and Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra. TECHNO-UTOPIA explores memory, magic, ruthless algorithms, and what makes music more than just data.

Amazing photos from recent Berlin prem. of my text score "Four Elements" created as part of "Sound Vessels" where we control neural synthesis models by pouring liquids. My co-conspirator @federicovisi.bsky.social performing on vessels, Cosima Gerhardt cello and Alberto de Campo electronics

More #exoposting* - last night Nat and I ascended Mt Teide for some stargazing - managed to see all of Jupiter's moons, Orion stellar nursery and andromeda (!!) through the telescope. Pictured - milky way

* (Exoplanets posting)
** OK no exoplanets through our telescope, need the James Webb for that

Loved exploring this alien landscape on a hike today. Felt like something from our Exoplanets Maths and Music at Chelt science festival with @stellarplanet.bsky.social @marcusdusautoy.bsky.social last year. Much more exciting exoplanets-inspired music for symphony orchestra coming in 2025 and 2026!
