Still depressed about the EHRC and what it says about the decline of feminism in my lifetime. But, to all my trans & NB friends, colleagues & students: try to remember that only a small, genital-obsessed minority want this (however hard the media try to change that). Many many people support you. š

AMN Reviews: Boundaries Festival 21-22 NovemberĀ 2025
By Lauren Redhead Where should you go to look for contemporary music explosions in November? It used to be that there was no singular answer to this question, but in the last 5 years Boundaries Festival has begun to establish Sunderland as a locus for the experimental, the compelling, the weird and the unknown. While the city is perhaps more widely known for its long history of ship-building than of contemporary music, the festival finds itself amid the city councilās regeneration projects and offers its audiences a new experience and environment to enjoy music in, as well as the music itself.

The last Soundhunt (for a while at least) went out with a bang in Cambridge on Sunday afternoon, with three short duos, from hosts Dominic Lash and N.O.Moore, a first time meeting between Tansy Spinks and Ben Jones, and an established duo from David Birchall and Alistair Zaldua, before all together.

I'm not the only instrumental studio in this position, but interesting to see how many professional clarinetists are signing up for Darmstadt - I have feeling younger players just don't know about it. Still some spaces in the clarinet studio so please tell your friends, today is last day to apply!
