Working on my opera, I'm now in a fascinating process of directing my transcribed letters, 288 pages or 207 letters, from very crude into ever-refining categories, until they find the right character they will be shaping in the libretto.

Experimenting with timings ⌚ of secret watery recipes 🤓 🧪 💥 for the new work with flutist Kathryn Williams at the Akademie der Künste Berlin, next week Saturday, May 31! Panoramic Book VIII: Undertow. #panoramicbooks

Salomé (2019) will have its German debut this Saturday at 17:00 by @divineshark.bsky.social in a fantastic programme of works during the 24-hour "Komponistinnen" Piano Marathon on 17/18 May, St. Elisabeth Kirche, Berlin.

A long time ago in a manuscript far, far away.... Happy #StarWarsDay! – #MayTheFourthBeWithYou, always.

On my walk yesterday, a landscape hard to capture on a photo. The river is the Maas and the houses are of the village I am from. To the left of the Maas is Belgian Limburg, to the right is Dutch Limburg. Some men decided this, sitting on a chair far away from here. #borders

My old gaff at the Prinsengracht in Amsterdam, where I lived with Gapie. Close to the Anne Frank Huis. Unimaginable to be living there on an artist's budget these days.💰 How lucky that happened.

Great visit to the Hamburger Bahnhof museum. This piece specifically resonated with me as a comment to the devious glorification of the 'temporary' mindset, also know as 'pop up'. A capitalist spin to render the uprooting of communities as adventurous and trendy.

View from my window seat. In the 17th century ships travelling from Amsterdam to overseas would have spent waiting and travelling for days or weeks, with peril of running aground just here in this channel between Texel and Den Helder, having not even left the country. #PrizePapersOpera

Turnage's Festen is fantastic! Snazzy and wild and beautiful.

Sharing.

Don’t gift our work to AI billionaires: Mark Haddon, Michal Rosen and other creatives urge government

Only a few days left to catch Delaine Le Bas excellent Turner Prize nominated work in Tate Britain. It's great. Go.

Fruitless attempt of my pear shaped lunch to get square. But it was eggcellent.

Woohay! 🥳🥳🥳 Fresh from the printer: 288 pages of transcribed Dutch letters dating from 1664 that have been keeping me busy last 18 months. Highlighter ready for action, let the libretto writing commence! #prizepapersopera @thenationalarchives @prizepapers.bsky.social

On my walk on Sunday.

Thanks for the recommendation, @prospectmagazine.co.uk @musicclerk.bsky.social

This Peak District landscape does best in snowy winter time. It opens up into blue skies and sunshine.

On my walk today, as the night falls.

On my walk today.

On my walk today.

Busy filming page turners today, which included having to iron sheets of paper, which was an oddly satisfying activity. Working on #PrizePapersOpera

Transcribing the last five letters of the last folder in the last archive box that I've been working on - in the last few days of the year - has brought me the storyline of my dreams. It's always in the last place you look! Ready for next year's writing. 🎶 #prizepapersopera @prizepapers.bsky.social

Petra Barran's Lowlines podcast series, painstakingly mastered by me exactly a year ago, has done well! "auditory orgasm"... I'll take that 😉! low-lines.com @bbcsounds.bsky.social @wonderymedia.bsky.social @amazonmusic @amazonmusicuk @linaprestwood @socialbrdcsts

Learned that I'm a descendant of an acknowledged bastard! Excellent news. This is our family crest and the black belt signifies the saucy detail. Expect me in hauberk and shield soon!

More 17th century reading excursions.

Neuron HIIT this AM: transcribing a letter by the same Dutch person of yesterday, now in their 1664 take on FRENCH rather than English. Quite impressed by their versatility, but what do I know. Happy that Lingua Franca had replaced Latin by then, though, phew. 😅 #prizepapers #prizepapersopera

Top-notch brain twister this AM: transcribing a letter by a Dutch person in their 1664 take on English alternating between 'ye olde Dinglish' and English grammar in a Dutch script style which differs from the English one without standardised spelling or punctuation. 😍 @prizepapers.bsky.social

Spellbinding premier performance of 'Songs That Never Come Ashore' by Georgina Stalbow, David Pepper and Daniel Davies in a sold out concert in Fishguard, last Sunday. A fab reveal of my works for chamber opera amongst friends, community and the sea it's inspired by. #prizepapersopera
