Wonderful! Bet that brings back memories. 💙🎹

I managed to borrow a Korg M1 off a very generous friend once, and literally locked myself in the room with it for days!

Haha! That was always an adventure. 💙🎹

That’s a terrific first tune. And that synth line still does the same now, I bet. 🎹💙

Being in the middle of a big choir is like nothing else, right? Just a wall of human beauty. 💙🎹

Haha! That’s beautiful. Working your way up, or down the family of instruments. 🎹💙

Love a radio/cassette - very tactile way of playing music. 💙🎹

Musical memories seem to go into a similar deep part of the brain as smells. They’re often some of the last to fade when we age, and that striking sense of being transported when you catch a song fragment … feels like one of core elements of being human.

What’s your earliest musical memory? 💙🎹

Definitely good to have a roadmap. Among many highlights, nonchalantly dispatching that Ligeti piano étude was right up there …

Don’t think I breathed for 90 mins!

One of the highlights of the year. 🎹💙

I heard the trailer for @hannahpeel.bsky.social ‘s new Radio 3 show, brass banding, and it took me right back - Batley Grammar School band, then the Yorkshire Post, then the Albert Hall! Amazing music making, rooted in the community, and open to all. Long live the brass band. 🎺💙🎹

It is! Write away. I’m still working through my lovely backlog of correspondence here … 💙🎹

I’ve updated my blog with a couple of articles about being a composer in an AI world, and music editing for films. All practical advice from a veteran! Feel free to share with any young composers and anyone entering the film & TV music game. 🎹💙

Clearly the sea meets the sky in lots of places, but there is something magical about the Suffolk coast at Easter. 4th year running taking the kids to Southwold … 🎹💙

Well said. I’m looking at the sharp downturn in music education outside private schools with horror.

‘Low-effort creativity’ - that’s a great phrase. Gen AI really seems to miss the investment of time and effort that brings the real rewards.

Sounds about right.

Very good point. There are some trade offs going on, for sure.

Absolutely. I do wonder that the difficult process of forming your thoughts so you can write them down in some way is part of what makes us human. Seems a short-sighted thing to outsource!

Glorious sunrise up in Craster. 🎹💙

Is using AI to write, draw or compose making us less human? 🎹💙

Last night was the 1st real step on my new recording project “The Seasons”, with a trip to the Painted Church, Cambridge to hear The Gesualdo Six.

In 2025/6 I’ll be working with some amazing chamber ensembles + recording my new music with them in beautiful locations.

Do come & walk along with us.

We planted a weeping cherry tree in our garden before Christmas, and are just seeing it come into blossom for the first time. In case you needed something beautiful to balance out … all this. 🎹💙

As a cascade of AI generated art and music ‘products’ fill our feeds, is sharing a human process going to be the only thing that matters? 💙🎹

Combined Manners Faber aims to be 'one of the industry's leading independent music talent agencies' The team at Faber Music and Manners McDade have relaunched their composer agencies, combining them into one roster and company as Manners Faber. Read on for the full story…

Wonderful Piano Day performances at the Barbican last night for the @mannersfaber.bsky.social launch event. Maybe the film&TV agenting and publishing world is on the turn?

Ha! Awesome. 🎹💙

Haha! I’ve taken to rescuing collections … this way a storage unit lies. 💙🎹

Much of the debate around AI 'art' surely misses the point that art is as much about the practice and making, as it is about the outcome. Typing a prompt and clicking on an image or track is the thinnest, most meagre experience of making art or music I could possibly imagine. 🎹💙

Morning Poloroid taken by the budding 8 yr old photographer in the house. Bottom of picture shows vinyl storage issues, leading to the question: “can you ever have too many records?” 💙🎹
