The inaugural London Soundtrack Festival is coming up fast! It's going to be mega. Don't miss it! londonsoundtrackfestival.com

BBC2 is currently showing Planet of the Apes (1968) and as usual it's at the wrong speed, meaning the score - one of the greatest of all time - is at the wrong pitch and rushed and the whole film runs 7 mins shorter than it should. A horrible way to treat classic movies.

All four of us are ill at home with a nasty virus. Happy Christmas! #kids

Key changes. Note changes even. Please, just try a bit harder in your film scores, will you?! Would it hurt to just move that left hand octave drone about a bit once in a while?!

An excellent list from @larkingrumple.bsky.social - totally agree that the extraordinary Violin Concerto should be better known (that ENDING!). But no Noye's Fludde?!! The single greatest work for children ever written. Let's replace The Bridge Variations with that. :-)

Howard Shore has made a slight change to his music for our London Soundtrack Festival Gala Concert with @lporchestra.bsky.social @lpchoir.bsky.social in March @southbankcentre.bsky.social : now includes The Noble Wood (I Roderyn) from The Hobbit. Details/tix here: bit.ly/3OtZI35 #LSF25

When we played it @kensingtonso.bsky.social I was on timps and mis-counted a large number of bars rest (thanks to the UTTERLY confusing new published version by B&H) and missed the solo glissando. Disgusted with myself, I didn't play for a year afterwards. #Isetmyselfhighstandards

Star Wars films, ranked: 1. The Empire Strikes Back 2. Star Wars

We've just revealed which pieces by our LSF Award Honoree Howard Shore will be played by @lporchestra.bsky.social @lpchoir.bsky.social at our Gala Concert @southbankcentre.bsky.social on March 22nd. It's going to be fantastic: londonsoundtrackfestival.com/event/lsf-ga... (1/2)

Without question one of the most inventive, creative, brilliant composers working today. Loved spending time plotting and planning ideas with @danielpemberton.bsky.social this week. Stay tuned!

Hello to all my new followers! I mostly tweet about music and the projects I’m working on, especially at the moment my upcoming London Soundtrack Festival - to which you’re all very welcome! londonsoundtrackfestival.com

“I see the early music crowd hasn’t arrived yet.” Yet another good reason to be here. 😉

“It’s quite possible to do serious music in a serious way for one audience and be fun and entertaining for another.” Exactly right.

Really looking forward to our amazing Games Music Day on March 23rd 2025: Panels with @borislavslavov.bsky.social Steph Economou Gordy Haab Stephen Barton + epic orchestra concert with music from Baldur's Gate 3, Star Wars Jedi Survivor, Assassin's Creed Valhalla + more. Tix: bit.ly/4dG6lJR 🎮

Hoping for a rather more pleasant-looking feed on here. And to get some followers!
