I’m used to performers living rent-free in my head, but last night things escalated… I had a dream where Richard Craig was piloting a roofless, sideless plane, with me aboard. We hit turbulence and had to fly upside down. No seatbelts. Just me and a bunch of dream-people clinging on for dear life.

Lovely weekend in Köln just gone. I was fortunate to hear Hannah Weirich perform my piece ‘Ffarwel i Uli’ at WDR. Plus, a productive rehearsal with @CarlRosman on ‘Skyppan,’ a new 35-minute solo piece for basset clarinet (yes, I’m THAT mad!). And how about that wonderful weather? 🍦🌞 #ComposerLife

"Dedicated 'to Hannah, with love,' Ffarwel i Uli is more than an elegy; it is a heartfelt embrace, a tribute to Uli’s spark, and a reminder to cherish the light he left behind."

Did you know only 8% of England’s countryside has a right of public access? And only 3% of our rivers? Sign this petition from @Right2Roam calling for access reform this election. We shouldn’t be shut out of our own country, or risk being told off for going for a swim! We need access for everyone.

Reporting this. If it’s meant to be funny, I’m sorry but, seriously!?

F the ableism. Autism is the absolute opposite of an ‘excuse’. Autistic people are much more likely to be misunderstood and mistreated than they are to receive handouts. F off ableist world. We do everything we can to exist peacefully within your stifling boundaries.

And how exactly can (sound) be ‘organised’ if it has no boundaries?

[Grim, D. – 1995/6]

Practice for taking over the world, no? He will continue putting the time in, while the rest of us fanny about trying to discern his motives.

If I tie my shoes tight enough for my feet to feel secure, I cut off the blood-flow and eventually break my laces. Does anyone else have this problem?

This morning, I delved into my allocation of scores from the LSO Panufnik applicants ahead of our panel meeting next week. It’s truly humbling to discover so many amazing pieces from composers I mostly hadn’t heard of until today. Thank you, world! 🌍🎶 #LSOPanufnik #ComposerDiscovery
