Behind the scenes of today’s remote saxophone recording session for the delectable @danjwatts. Sadly, it’s a secret project so you can’t hear the audio - but I’ve replaced it with something equally as satisfying.
Enjoy. xx

“Power horns with fiddly bits” - mission accomplished!

Need sax? HMU!

Why I’m Turning Notifications Back On.
We’ve said it before, and we’ll doubtless say it again—social media is bad.

Average. Mediocre. Boring.
Or dependable, resolute, trustworthy?

The Myth of Being Average
Perhaps average isn’t the insult we think it is.

Just finished Conclave. What an absolute triumph of a film - quite literally immaculate in every way. Astonishing acting from the cast, Mr. Fiennes in particular. Beautiful cinematography, and wonderful score from @volkerbertelmann_official .
Un vero capolavoro.
Have you guys seen it? Thoughts?

If you’re an artist, everything is a canvas.
If you’re a writer, everything is a story.
If you’re a musician, everything is a song.
If you’re an actor, everything is a stage.

Worry less about the tools, and pay more attention to how you experience the world.

I like to think of Bach chorales as 'Sudoku for Musicians'. They're fascinating not just for their beauty, but for what they can teach us about life.

Bach Chorales: A Metaphor for Life
Bach can teach us a lot about music - and, as it turns out, life.

Are there any art, urban art, sticker, zine, film, composer, creative meet-ups in Norfolk, UK? I feel like I’m all alone out here…

At the risk of ostracising myself from the musician/composer community, but I’m not that interested in talking about music. I mean, we can - but I don’t care about your EQ, or what compressor you’re using… 1/2
