I didn't do the whole score, just the in-story music. Was a blast to work on, and such a shame the cinema release was sub-optimal - it could have been a big hit with a fair wind behind it

Agree with this (and not just because I wrote the songs). It's a great film and deserves to be better known. Watch now on iPlayer

👏👏👏

I think the important (and well-made) point is that the more unexplored the territory the greater the propensity to hallucinate, and the danger is these hallucinations become ‘fact’

Philosophy #FAQ Ontology: what the fuck? Causality: why the fuck? Epistemology: how the why the fuck? Phenomenology: the fuck.

Why we should care about ChatGPT's accuracy gap I tested ChatGPT on my area of expertise. The results are a problem for future knowledge

Brilliant and salutary post by @leahbroad.bsky.social about Ethel Smyth’s Symphony in E minor, and the wider issues of scholarship around overlooked composers in the LLM age

I guess anything normalises after a while - but it is pretty funny

Amen. Seen it three times and there will be more

I’ve had a great time at the ACDA Eastern choral conference. Met some lovely people and been made to feel very welcome!

Some good news to raise the spirits (see what I did there?)

Very different vibe! I can’t help feeling they’re a bit too perky about the whole thing

Really good, as ever, to talk to @hugorifkind.bsky.social this morning @listentotimesradio.bsky.social - especially about a subject I think he, I and many people are getting more and more worried about...

Thank you!

YouTube video by Bernard Hughes Bernard Hughes - I Drew My Ship

New video just up on YouTube: I Drew My Ship is my arrangement of a beautiful Northumbrian folksong for upper voices, sung here by Epiphoni Consort. Please have a listen!

Completely agree. I loved it as a teenager (especially JS obviously) and was so relieved that it held up when I watched the DVDs with my kids a few years back. It’s fantastic

Weekending!

Love this picture. Not the WG Grace we normally see

It never ceases to confound me just how many folks think the point of essays is to provide teachers with essays. That teachers just like, collect them, or need them for sustenance or something. Rather than the point of them being the *actual fucking act of learning how to think about shit*
