Very exciting piece - check out Rob's music!
12.03.2025 09:11 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I feel like the sound of harmonised electric guitars gets used a lot in the context of racing (I'm thinking of the top gear theme here really)
20.02.2025 11:52 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Really recommend Rebecca Saunders' use of this with double bass. Massively detuned. There's a solo piece and a concertante one - you'll often find it in cello parts in large ensemble works too.

28.01.2025 09:47 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0so I think I will include lots of recordings, but need to find a good way to frame them, and also work out which pieces to include.
My first instinct is to frame it as how my approach to composing has evolved since I was in their position, at a conservatoire - sort of piece by piece saying 2/3
I'm giving my first ever talk about my music at a conservatoire in a couple of months and am trying to work out what would actually be helpful for me to say.
I remember seeing lots of these talks myself back at RAM and I did pretty much enjoy them, and enjoyed being exposed to a lot of music 1/3
Milhaud - Corcovado from Saudades do Brazil (the remains the only piece I ever learned to play on piano)

first bsky post!
Just published this live recording of "content" for sax & electronics.
This is a huge and crazy piece about the Internet, for the incredible David Zucchi & recorded at its premiere 2 weeks ago. Really happy with this one.

'British School of Emotionalism' (written in Russian, 2023) delves into how composers Oliver Leith, @robinhaigh.bsky.social and Alex Paxton convey melancholy, nostalgia and playfulness in their musicโand what romanticism and sadbois have to do with it. muzlifemagazine.ru/britanskaya-...
