Here's me playing #DizzyGillespie's #ConAlma in a very relaxed smooth #jazz style, then turning it upside down and inside out to create an entirely original #reharmonisation
This is the answer to the Enigmu 4 quiz I set on Monday 26th January 2026 - hope you like it !

Another little music challenge for you 😁
Can anyone guess the original piece of music that I've 'translated' here ?
This one's not too difficult and I suspect jazzers will get it easily enough - but it took me a few days to work it out though trial and error ! #jazz #game

Neither did I until Robin Rimbaud @scanner.com alerted me to it. We worked together to identify the recording, as shown in this video on my YouTube channel. Hope very much that the record is a success ! youtu.be/k8KLqChfhbU?...
If only the #UKgovernment would seek advice from

13M Baht = £305,000
The piano's quite expensive too 😁

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
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

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

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?
