indeed, it would be deeply ironic and counter-productive were the policy to be enacted by an algorithm judging what is or is not entirely bottom-of-the-barrel AI generated...

pleased to see Bandcamp making some effort to protect its users from the monotonous, time-consuming, slog of trying to work out what's (not) human art

Hopefully, this policy is curated by humans and won't negatively affect the many artists experimenting creatively with machine learning in cool ways

Thanks, Ray. Brilliant to see you on Saturday and to work with you on many aspects of the science. Fingers crossed it might be broadcast or released publicly another way, so your colleagues in other countries can listen too!

Thank you Hannah - absolute pleasure to work with you and see you on Saturday

AMAZING first performance of "Exoplanets" by @lporchestra.bsky.social this weekend. Huge thanks to all the players, conductor Ed Gardner, my scientific collaborators and interlocutors and the many friends and family who came to see it. Next performance in Basel (with added lasers/light show!)

Last night I had the pleasure of attending the world premier of The Exoplanets, by composer @robertlaidlow.bsky.social , done by the London Philharmonic Orchestra at Royal Festival Hall. It was a smash hit, thrilling and beautifully executed. To me, it was evocative of a very big Universe with lots

This weekend we headed to London for the world premiere of @robertlaidlow.bsky.social’s #Exoplanet suite. The London Philharmonic Orchestra were on fine form bring the amazing worlds we study to life. So grateful to have been a tiny part of the journey. Check out Rob describing the piece 👇 #sciart

Amazing book - congrats on the new piece!

In this video I explain how @stellarplanet.bsky.social and @climatebook.bsky.social research into these classes of planets inspired and informed some of the music.

The concert premiere of "Exoplanets" is at 7.30pm on Saturday 29th November at the Royal Festival Hall in London - tickets here:

Holst's planets suite may have its famous "Jupiter" and "Neptune", but my new "Exoplanets" for @lporchestra.bsky.social has HOT Jupiters and SUB Neptunes 🪐🪐🪐 (Saturday 29th at 7.30pm!)

Hi Mike. Thanks for this, I'd love to! I'll send an email once I've started. Looking forward

Garrett I somehow missed this many months ago but thanks for sharing!!

Thanks Ursula! I don't start until December but hugely looking forward to it. Did I spot you in the Schwarzman centre on Thursday or was I imagining things?

Hugely appreciate this vital support for a massive project with Peter Brathwaite for 2027 exploring some profoundly challenging topics through new music, archival research and interactive and adaptive music technology. Look forward to sharing more soon

Having a wonderful time with Stephen Rinker at BBC Philharmonic HQ mixing my TECHNO-UTOPIA which we recorded in July. Some rarely-seen) instrument tracks in this piece including "stacco", "ROLI" and "big bit of wood". Steve is a genius - it sounds brilliant

RPS Composer @robertlaidlow.bsky.social's cosmic tone poem 'Exoplanets' will receive its first performance by the @lporchestra.bsky.social on 29 November at @southbankcentre.bsky.social. A collaboration with astrophysicists, Robert translates their inspiring research into musical ideas.

This amazingly high quality music festival is just up the road from me. Well worth a visit for the astonishingly beautiful venue alone let alone the fantastic music. And if you come on the right day you'll find me manning the bar 😊

My new piece "Exoplanets" for @lporchestra.bsky.social may not have 6000 movements but I can promise I was aiming for some out of this world music on 29th November at the Royal festival hall 😊 see you there?

In the studio in Glasgow recording my Post-Singularity Songs with @slampreasoprano.bsky.social and Alistair MacDonald 😁 coming to an album near you in 2026

Nice to be asked to contribute to British Council's timely new publication "Why Technology Needs Artists". In the company of some amazing people ☺️

Loved working with Zubin Kanga, Jack Sheen and the BBC Philharmonic last week on TECHNO-UTOPIA - concerto for piano, synths and embedded AI instruments. Look forward to sharing the recording soon. The orchestra were such a nice bunch 😍

I asked for a large sheet of metal for this piece but this really takes the biscuit

Rogue planets!

Had such a fun time running through the solo part for TECHNO-UTOPIA with Zubin Kanga today. Can you tell I listened to prog rock as a teenager

Having a great time in Basel talking about my work with Exoplanets and Music at the Space stage of Fantasy Basel comiccon!

Extremely fun and inspiring to be shown round the diamond light source synchrotron (particle accelerator) this morning 💎🔬
