Am currently staying in a beautiful hotel in Palma and, inevitably, there is a phone next to the toilet. WHAT IS THIS THING FOR?! Who is making calls while otherwise engaged!?

Music is a very serious business.
One must always approach it with the utmost solemnity and gravitas… no exceptions.

(Definitely no laughing allowed.)

Just arrived in Prague to conduct an orchestra playing my music.
Still haven’t unpacked my clothes… but my mini studio setup is live and ready to go.
Priorities. 🎮🎼🧳

Tomorrow, I’m off to Prague to wave a stick around.

My first time conducting. My own compositions. A real orchestra. A LOT of work has led to this moment.

Nervous. Excited. Ready. 🎶🇨🇿

There’s nothing like replacing samples with a real voice. I recently brought in a singer to record live —and the track came alive. It breathes now.

Have you had a moment where live performance transformed your music?

Track drops soon. Watch this space.

Oh, go on then! Decided to give it a go myself. I am reliably informed that I don't look *that* old, but I am pleased that if ChatGPT has gotten J.Williams vibes from my reference photo, then I can think of worse comparisons! #composer #ai #toy #music #conductor #indiedev

At 4pm UK time today, I'll be on with Guy Michelmore and some of the Thinkspace Education team to answer any questions about my experience as an MA student as part of the Open Day! Links at thinkspace.ac.uk/postgraduate... Be amazing to see people there!

The Boy does a C major scale which is impressive because it’s grade 8 stuff (if we separate grade 1 into 8 sub-grades). #ProdigalSon #piano #parenting #composer

Eavesdropping in on a chat between Howard Shore, David Chronenberg, and John Burlingame. I mean, I had a ticket and everything. I didn’t just break into their living room. #ScreenScoring #FilmScoring #FilmComposer

Enjoying the sunshine at The Barbican, gearing up for today’s masterclass with the amazing Harry Gregson-Williams. Can’t wait for some film-scoring insights! Anyone else here today? Say hi! #FilmComposer l #FilmMusic #ComposerLife #LondonSunshine #Networking

Excited to be heading to The Barbican this Friday for a masterclass with the legendary Harry Gregson-Williams! His scores for Shrek, Narnia, Metal Gear Solid, and so many more have been a huge inspiration. 🎼🔥 #FilmScoring #GameMusic #ComposerLife

🎼 Exciting news! Next month, I’ll be in Prague conducting a live recording of my latest neoclassical game music. ✨

If you’re a game dev looking for cinematic, uncluttered, and evocative music that fits indie budgets—let’s talk! 🎮🎻 #GameAudio #IndieGameDev #FilmScoring

Conducting my original scores in Prague next month with these amazing people! Reworking parts for the ensemble as the line-up threw me a curve-ball—super fun!

Need a game score? DM me!

🎼 Some composers dread it—but I genuinely love music engraving! It’s oddly therapeutic, like solving puzzles to turn notes into art. Anyone else find joy in detailed notation? I’d love to hear your thoughts! #MusicEngraving #ComposerLife #GameAudio #FilmComposer #IndieGameDev

I only went and got a Steam Deck. The wife isn’t as happy as the children. Also, the perspective on this photo makes it look far bigger than it is! Or maybe it makes my daughter look smaller than she is? #gamergirl #indiedev #games #gamer

Given Trump's inevitable entry to the White House in the coming weeks, it's time to recycle this video of my daughters in 2019. For those who need to know, "Trump" in the UK is slang for "Fart". Needless to say, this causes much hilarity.

Well, this is a new high for me! Thank you to whoever out there is listening! #music #composer

Aaaaaaand that’s a wrap! MA in orchestration complete after three and a half years as of a few minutes ago. Onto the next exciting chapter… who wants music?

Hans Gruber is on the tree. It’s the most wonderful time of the year.
