Every day is a painting day. Well, not quite. Many days are also composing days, but me composing at my computer desk doesn’t provide the matter for very compelling photos, where as photos from my studio are full of colour and movement. See what I mean?

I’ve signed this. Would be tragic for it to close. chng.it/MbqBcgD74k

@buddytwo.bsky.social Very good to meet you, Scott, and thanks for finding me and connecting! 🤗

63 today. These birthdays seem to come around at an alarmingly frequent rate. Only four years to go before I’m an old aged pensioner. Financial security at last! Imagine that.

Showing spatialisation for my timecode-supported polytemporal piece, ‘a point in the landscape’ with the BBCSSO 2024. More in my forthcoming book, ‘Timecode-Supported Polytemporal Music: What It Is and How To Write It’ published by Vision Edition and available from @composersed.bsky.social

Looking for intrepid organists! Details in video.

‘nearly all my poems are letters to you’, a solo harp piece, is published on @composersedition composersedition.com/marc-yeats-n... I’m hoping it will draw intrepid harpists to its intricacies and colours. DM me if you'd like further information @composersed.bsky.social to view the score online.

@newmusicgr.bsky.social Great to meet you, George!

Woodlands are such fascinating places. I’m particularly drawn to the entanglement and complexity of growth. It reminds me of the music I write. Very happy to have finished a new one, as you can see from my smile. 70x50 cm oil on canvas.

Just added a new series of paintings titled ‘Polyphonic Abstraction’ to my website. Take a peek if you fancy. www.marc-yeats.com/paintings/pr...

230 of my poems about the landscape, being a composer, a painter and an ordinary guy. Enigmatic and often aphoristic, they bring a different perspective to my work. Wonderfully insightful preface by friend and composer Sadie Harrison. Available from Vision Edition. www.marc-yeats.com/product/coll...

Getting things together for next month’s exhibition @johndaviesgallery Varnished and framed. Looking lovely though not seen at their best in this photo. You'll have to come to the exhibition for the best view!

I had high hopes for a Labour government. Not any more. Their environmental policy is one (among many) that I loath. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

We’re on a mission to support composers and transform how music is funded. By combining traditional patronage with the power of grassroots philanthropy, Music Patron ensures that composers can focus on what they do best: creating. And now we're on BlueSky! Hello there :)

Absolutely love a themed list of works, and this one features two Music Patron composers, @marc-yeats.bsky.social and Colin Riley (alongside some other truly wonderful composers). Fantastic work, Rishin :)
