I’m looking forward to @IMcMillan ‘s Yorkshire #BarberofSeville tonight at @BradfordOpera. It feels like #TheArsonists’ long lost uncle. #NorthernOpera

Oden is an audiovisual installation, an immersive and intimate experience of landscape. Both a study and reimagination of Odin’s Gully, Peak District UK and its changes through the seasons. Oden is running now up until 2nd Dec as part of @culturesof_ Sound, Huddersfield
We're sharing some teaser trailers over the next few days from the seasons of #Oden and as we're still clinging onto Autumn 🍂, what better way to start? Film by @AndrewPBrooks sound & music by yours truly. Mixed in binaural sound, so please enjoy via headphones 🎧!

Rules for Producing Harmonic Equilibria: 1.Only major and minor triads may be used, and each should only be used once, one of each for each equally-tempered pitch class.

4. Where diatonic progressions occur between triads, this should then be followed by a non-diatonic movement.

If a sequence fails to satisfy all these conditions, exchange triads until it does.

One of the best gigs I’ve been to in ages : Kogg at @hcmfuk - really not quite like anything I’ve heard before.

A brand new choir at @SalfordUniNews , #newadelphichoir has just given its first performance and I couldn’t be prouder of them! The joy of singing together is a mighty thing.

Truly gutting to see the closure of @PsapphaEnsemble This astonishing group of musicians have been a vital force in the UK for supporting & commissioning 100s+ of composers at every age & stage of their careers; a force that will be very sorely missed. Thank you for everything!
It’s time to say goodbye. We’re sorry to announce that Psappha is now closed. Thank you for the incredible support over the last, very difficult, year. You can still access our incredible library of films through psappha.com Recordings back catalogue: @nmcrecordings

What dark and beautiful programme @BBCPhilharmonic - the pieces all spoke to each other as well as to us.

This tweet lacked an ‘a’ but I was writing it in the middle of a rainstorm….
