Jan—Sep 2019

After recording string parts with the Ligeti Quartet earlier this week, and mixing a final draft on Tuesday, I've finished a piece called Ee well for the New Creatives North scheme, incorporating field recordings, new music for string quartet, and a load of illicitly recorded phone conversations with my parents. Online soon.

Looking forward to this great lineup - Joseph Havlat, Ligeti Quartet and Ana Silvera! I'll be writing a piece for Ligeti Quartet, and there'll also be music from Freya Waley-Cohen and Josephine Stephenson, and new pieces from Egidija Medekšaitė, Rūta Vitkauskaitė and Joseph Howard. Tickets here.

Excited to be a part of this scheme focussing on talent from the north! Am excited to be working on something different to my usual stuff: a work incorporating recorded voices, field recordings and instrumental music. Will be developing over the summer. 

Happy to be writing a new piece for fantastic Contralto Jess Dandy for the next Listenpony concert! She'll be singing with Francesco Iannuzzelli playing on Oud. I'm writing a piece using words from Psalms 22 and 23 (v good ones). Check out the event here.

The next listenpony lineup has been announced: contralto Jess Dandy, Francesco on Oud, Simon Desbruslais playing new works for trumpet, and singer songwriter Chloe Foy. Janet Oates, Gareth Moorcraft and Joss Smith are joining us in writing new work. Details up here.

Live at Listenpony: Duo Bayanello is out today! It's from our January 2018 concert, and includes my For Grace, After a Party played by Duo Bayanello. Listen here on Spotify.

New video online, from Listenpony this time last year. A queasy duo for cello and accordion, written for Duo Bayanello (Cecilia Bignall and Iosif Purits). Check it out here.

Listenpony's 2019 is pretty much fully formed: 28 Jan, 29 May, and 26 Sep. We're working with some exciting people this year -- check it out at listenpony.com.
