Tell Me the Truth and I'll Believe it

One of my happiest friendships is with Ryan O’Neal - aka Sleeping at Last

We decided to put our friendship to the test - booking Abbey Road studios for a day - coming in with nothing - and only leaving when we had something written and fully recorded

I’m now delivering my music in graphic score firms that are so complex, even the orchestra can’t read them
Unbeatably secure, and quite a departure from tonality
(Hi Chris!)

Is it just me or is this staircase actually a stone brontosaurus hiding in plain sight?

So annoying that my computer doesn’t recognise the word ‘Diegetic’ [music emanating from within a scene/ in camera]

So my notes have been heading to my editor full of diabetic warnings…

I was interviewed by Rob Hughes for @uncut_magazine about working as Scott Walker’s arranger and conductor
Brought back many strong memories.

I don't drink coffee, I take tea, my dear
I like my toast done on one side
And you can hear it in my accent when I talk
I'm an Englishman in New York…

I wanted a mocha
Stop judging me
It was awesome

That does seem to be very true…

Philip Sheppard in a fusion factory

It’s been a big week in many ways. IYKYK
So today called for something a bit different…
Plasma Fusion!

I was a very bad physics student at school-and yet I’m fascinated by it
Excited to return in order to record the hottest explosion on Earth in the near future…

I mean it all counts right?!
