Thank you, @royalphilsoc.bsky.social!

My piece ILDIO is on BBC Radio 3’s New Music Show tonight (10:30pm–12:30am)! Performed by Birmingham Contemporary Music Group, it’s about surrender, uncertainty, and finding clarity through sound. This is not comfort listening, so strap in! Listen live or catch up: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Today, 11.4. at 8pm on the radio at WDR 3 and afterwards for 30 days online: Musikfabrik in WDR 92 with works by Georgia Koumará , @morganwilliamsb.bsky.social, Sara Glojnarić, Mats Thiersch, Mazyar Kashian and Christopher Collings. Conductor: @edofrenkel.bsky.social. www1.wdr.de/radio/wdr3/p...

3.4. 20.03 - 22 Uhr, WDR 3 Konzert mit dem Mitschnitt von Musikfabrik im WDR 91 mit Uraufführungen von Lisa Streich und Arnulf Herrmann und weiterer großartiger Musik von Lucia Dlugoszewski, @morganwilliamsb.bsky.social und Elena Rykova. www1.wdr.de/radio/wdr3/p...

I’m used to performers living rent-free in my head, but last night things escalated… I had a dream where Richard Craig was piloting a roofless, sideless plane, with me aboard. We hit turbulence and had to fly upside down. No seatbelts. Just me and a bunch of dream-people clinging on for dear life.

Lovely weekend in Köln just gone. I was fortunate to hear Hannah Weirich perform my piece ‘Ffarwel i Uli’ at WDR. Plus, a productive rehearsal with @CarlRosman on ‘Skyppan,’ a new 35-minute solo piece for basset clarinet (yes, I’m THAT mad!). And how about that wonderful weather? 🍦🌞 #ComposerLife

"Dedicated 'to Hannah, with love,' Ffarwel i Uli is more than an elegy; it is a heartfelt embrace, a tribute to Uli’s spark, and a reminder to cherish the light he left behind." 🗓️ 22.2.2025 - 8pm 📍WDR Funkhaus am Wallrafplatz, Köln www.musikfabrik.eu/.../musikfab...

That ‘I just finished a piece’ feeling ☺️

Started teaching at Huddersfield Uni today. It was a good experience helping undergrads with their solo piano compositions. I appreciated the variety and different approaches to learning, and I really enjoyed it! #UniversityofHuddersfield #Teaching

If I tie my shoes tight enough for my feet to feel secure, I cut off the blood-flow and eventually break my laces. Does anyone else have this problem?

This morning, I delved into my allocation of scores from the LSO Panufnik applicants ahead of our panel meeting next week. It’s truly humbling to discover so many amazing pieces from composers I mostly hadn’t heard of until today. Thank you, world! 🌍🎶 #LSOPanufnik #ComposerDiscovery

Something newer again (despite the vintage look) by @morganwilliamsb.bsky.social. Back to Eb clarinet for this one. youtu.be/5P4n6cukdxE?...

Why do bluetooth headphones still have the plastic piece at the bottom where the wire used to be?

Don't think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it's good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art.

Can someone please explain to me how it is that 999/1000 is equal to 1?
