great time today recording with Britten Sinfonia – great to hear how everyone’s pieces developed over the last few months

I first worked with Apartment House in June 1996, when they played my ‘Five Preludes’ in a concert at the October Gallery in London. I composed ‘Riis’ for the ensemble that summer and it was first performed 25 years ago today.

this is today! tickets still available!

Huge thanks to all the composers, performers and everyone who came along to the Laurence Crane tribute concert on Monday! @lararoseagar @PatrickJHegarty @alexnikiporenko darius paymai @harrympharrison Sam Gooderham Robert Crehan @possiblyKit Dr Matt Geer Mathis Saunier & Ben Smith!

Since hearing his wonderful Revolution Shuffle album i've been revisiting lots of Michael Pisaro-Liu. Something in particular fits perfectly with the long nights: sounds softly ebbing & flowing, merging with your surroundings, then gently tipping into something otherworldly.

A week to go :) Join us Patchworks Leyton for some experimental music, performance, dance, natural wine and arancini with Tim Parkinson& Angharad Davies, ʲᵃᵐᵉˢ ᵐᶜⁱˡʷʳᵃᵗʰ & Maya-Leigh Rosenwasser , @EleanorSikorski & @LewysJBHolt , Jamie and May & Venus Velouria. eventbrite.co.uk/e/good-company…

extremely delayed 2nd quavers early on in Robert and Gaby Casadesus' recording of the Trois Morceaux en Forme de Poire. strange and appealing time feel youtube.com/watch?v=sXUu88…

lol just a proof of concept but each red speaker is playing the same C tone, pitched only by movement relative to the camera audio is a bit glitchy bc i don't think blender really maintains this feature in a serious way. reverb & compression added in post #b3d
