Flyer for Symphonies of John White concert on Friday 31st October

Looking forward to this ! Music we'd like to hear. London Friday 31st October.

Playing the piano with the new music group George W Welch (reformed after a 30 year hiatus ! 😁) in a concert of music by the composer John White. Witty, genial and very enjoyable music. Hope to see some of you there !

Looking forward to reading these 2 intelligent commentators on the current #AI situation. Just an observation about the design though...somewhat TACKY 😂 When sounding alarms about AI probably best not to choose a cover that looks like a bad AI generation ! @garymarcus.bsky.social @parmy.bsky.social

YouTube video by Jonathan Parry BRAND NEW TUNEFUL ORCHESTRAL PIECE !

Trailer for my new Orchestral piece - gives a good flavour of parts 1 & 3 which have a film music vibe about them. Part 2 is a radical dreamlike movement in #JustIntonation ! #Beethoven

Now I know Friday evening is not the best time to ask you lovely lot to listen to a 27 minute orchestral piece 😁 You'll likely be heading to the pub for a well earned pint, as am I, but can I ask that you find some quiet time to give this a listen? Ta🍻

A set of lateral #variations on the 3rd movement from #Beethoven #7thSymphony. You can listen here for free, please support if able to, thanks ! :

Based on the 3rd movement from #Beethoven #7thSymphony and The incident at #Teplice

Now finished, hope to release audio on Bandcamp this Friday

YouTube video by Johan Steyn Carole Cadwalladr: AI Stole My Work, And I Did Not Consent (short)

#CaroleCadwalladr tells #SamAltman not to steal her work, while in the UK a #Labour government passes a law that allows Big Tech to do exactly that.

RIP Brian Wilson a great composer and arranger... Will never forget hearing as a child the opening of Sloop John B, and the songs Good Vibrations and God Only Knows... could almost taste the music it was so colourful. Thank you...A life well lived 💛 #BrianWilson

Here is a home studio version of my piece 'The Present' for #BassClarinet #Marimba #StringQuartet. It was given 3 performances in #Romania in last year. Would be good to get funding to record it with the original musicians ! I hope you like it #newmusic #musicscore

Here's a new #jazz flavoured tune. It was originally intended to be just a practice routine but the sequence was lovely and after the tune arrived - then the Khachaturian / Rachmaninoff inspired ending - I thought I'd better record it ! #Improvisation

The JP Quartet:
We're back at No. 60 Coffee and WIne Bar in Bishops Waltham on Thursday 17th April. It would be great to see some of you there - it's free entry and a nice relaxed venue. This YouTube video compilation from the 1st gig gives an idea of the music:

Gala's Freed from Desire used to be one of my favourite tracks from the 90s. It's been done to death at sporting events nowadays, but it is kind of cool that it's got crowds effortlessly singing a tritone (the unusual interval between each refrain) 😁

I am vastly amused that the hubris of the 'Nerd Reich' tech bros in the good ol' USA has been rapidly lanced by the Chinese... that's a good thing. Turning into a Stan and Ollie-garchy 😂 #DeepSeek #Copyright #LisaNandy

Excellent. The selective use of AI on one's own material to create new sounds and new combinations is very interesting to me. As you say, the automatic generation of whole pieces from stolen material using a single line text prompt is boring and corrupt @ednewtonrex.bsky.social you might like this?

Labour’s AI plan could be good for Britain – except the creatives it will throw under the bus | Ed Newton-Rex The proposed new law will hand over artists’ and writers’ copyright so their competitors can be trained for free. The government must reconsider, says Ed Newton-Rex, founder of Fairly Trained

Thank you Ed

I tend to agree... good point and very clearly expressed. Makes a lot of sense ! For me there is also a possible difference between EqT and Just intonation in the sense that one is a potentially 'objective' view that the brain has to interpret, and the other clearly shows its point of perspective.

YouTube video by Jonathan Parry 3rd Sonata for Piano November 2021 VIDEO RECORDING

Here's my performance of my 3rd #Sonata for Piano, written in November 2021 after watching the marvellous contestants in the #Chopin #Piano competition. The melodies and harmonies are all derived from just two chords: a Major9 and its inverse the minor9 😊 Hope you enjoy ! youtu.be/Xb3hBIcC9fs?...
