Ever wondered what it's like to hear your music projected out of a clocktower? Me neither, but it was fun to find out! Throwback to writing for Old Joe as part of the UoB 125th celebrations. It was a joy to be involved with BEAST again, writing music for the campus where I learnt to be a composer.

Kinda nice to see these people I guess

Tippity top night celebrating jury duty 🎉 so wonderful to have been a juror for best music again!

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it. ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures. Losers with power become the most dangerous kind. (c/o Caroline Codsi)

Neil deGrass Tyson: "How sad it must be believing that scientists, historians, scholars, economists, journalists devoted their entire lives to deceiving you, but a reality-TV star proven in court to be a lying felon is your beacon of truth & honesty"

Saturday morning synthing. Zebra-2 bringing the goods as ever. Spicy flavour from a little Soundtoys Filter Freak and some Izotopeinc EQ 👍🏻 Is seeing WIP patches interesting? #synth #synthpop #hyperpop #synthesizer #synthesizers #zebra2 #soundtoys #izotope #songs

An excellent Ludo25! So many interesting conversations and papers that I'm going to be thinking on for weeks to come. It was excellent to catch up with old friends and meet lovely new folk too. Thanks to the organisers. Can't wait till next year! #ludomusicology #ludo #ludo25 #conference

This is worth 3 minutes of your time. No one wants to eat at a restaurant that only serves bland chicken. (It’s not about chicken, or restaurants, tho)

💯%!

Amazing looking poster for the Dos Goats Films SUFFER! ❤️ “For the SUFFER poster we wanted to capture the illustrated look of classic fantasy films and showcase all of the iconic visuals of the world of Amberly” The film is premiering soon. Music by @joannakarselis.bsky.social Score mixing by me.

"When I Survey" always feels like the right hymn to be singing on Good Friday. Always a joy to be out early, playing my guitar and joining in with the birds. Recorded with Zoom H8 @zoomunitedkingdom #whenIsurvey #easter #song #singing #guitar #goodfriday #worshipmusic #isaacwatts #worshiping

Excellent evening last night at BAFTA Games networking night, here with superb @joannakarselis.bsky.social and @tobyelliscomposer.bsky.social BAFTA game nominations were projected on the wall. Oh look, it’s @nainitadesai.bsky.social 👏😁

Okay, this is my newest very very favorite meme.

Looking for a small and simple way to #Resist? In order to effectively #BoycottAmazon , stop using their streaming service. If you can, get a DVD player and DVDs from thrift stores. Having physical media during a #Boycott means no one gets ad revenue, and you can still watch your favorite movies 💕

Good morning to this man, and this man only #bbcqt

Happy Valentine's Day, especially to anyone who might identify with one of the letters in LGBTQ, particularly the day after someone Trumpy stripped the letter T and then the letter Q from the National Park Service website for Stonewall in New York City.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

A thoroughly enjoyable and creative soundtrack by Hannes de Maeyer for The Couple Next Door 👏 released by Silva Screen Records. 🔊🎧👉 open.spotify.com/album/5y6mak... and wherever you stream your music 😁 [ mastered by me ]

Choosing to focus on the other thing that's happening today. Trying to choose love in the face of hate. Rest In Power always MLK Jr.

The quotation of Hermann's Vertigo score in The Substance genuinely kept me up thinking last night. What an unexpected reference to the male gaze throughout cinematic history. Would love to chat about its symbolism with fellow audio nerds (if anyone else cares 😂)

Into The Thicket is out now! I am so proud of scoring this film and our festivals, including an Oscar-qualifying festival, 5 award noms, and win for “Best Fantasy Short". A dark-leaved exploration of magic and self; “a film woven with beautiful intricate grief ribbons." vimeo.com/63561506?sha...

Our faculty is offering 8 fully-funded PhD studentships to support Black British researchers across a range of research areas, including Geography. The deadline for applications is 28 February 2025.

Honest post. Yesterday I worked about 16 hours. The only breaks were for basic household tasks/some quick food. I got out of pyjamas to do a workout. Then I got back into PJ's and carried on working. And yesterday was meant to be a day off.
