“Can I try that again?” As a music teacher, this is one of my favourite phrases to hear. It shows that the student is keen, willing to practise, and believes they can do better. Teachers, what do you love to hear from your students?
Saddened by the death of Paul Auster. A titan among writers of the last 50 years. There are many of his novels I have still not discovered, something to be addressed soon.
Check out this article, written by Melissa McCarthy, about my string sextet Flux Alluvia: tweedriverculture.org/journal/forkin…
Yesterday, something lovely happened. Someone listened to my music on Spotify, enjoyed it, so decided to send me £20. How refreshing! How many Spotify streams does it take to make £20? At least 10,000. Support the artists whose work you value — streaming is not enough!
A little music for your Tuesday. My recently composed string sextet, Flux Alluvia, performed here in Kelso last month by the wonderful Amici. youtu.be/IR2bZ9dDTds
Who is in, or knows of, ensembles that perform string sextets?
So soul-enriching to get out for a 7am run this morning. Balanced by an evening with a disconsolate 2-month-old, to give an honest account of the day’s hedonic landscape.
‼️Anyone in Edinburgh/Lothians know of a 10ft wheelchair ramp we/ @DrakeMusicScot could borrow for an event on 1st May? The one the venue ordered is stuck in transit and won’t arrive on time and we’ve tried everywhere we can think of. ‼️Thanks in advance!
"Bach is a colossus of Rhodes, beneath whom all musicians pass and will continue to pass ... he has said all there is to say." — Charles Gounod Quite right, or utter tosh?
Okay, serious question. Who here has a to-read pile or to-read shelf? Let me see them! Here’s mine. Don’t ask me why I have two copies of Hopscotch…
One final excerpt of my string sextet, Flux Alluvia, before I share the full concert recording on my YT channel on Monday. Love writing for strings!
A moment of musical calm. Stop scrolling and listen for 48 seconds.
We now have ukuleles for 2 of our 3 kids. The youngest, at 2 months, just can’t make up her mind about what colour she wants.
We all have music that just doesn't speak to us, music that we find boring or that somehow offends our aesthetic sensibilities. But of who would you say this, as Krespel does in one of E. T. A. Hoffmann's stories? Don't be shy now!
Another teaser from my string sextet? Oh, go on then...

I wish they would use this as my author photo
Please all be crazy proud of me. Released humanely into the garden. I'm like a grown ass woman 💪🏻 Although I feel like it's on me! 😬
I'm really excited to be playing Brahms 1 next season with one of my favourite orchestras: @TheCBSO I'm happy to be filmed on phones by the audience except for the following bars when I really need to concentrate and could be distracted:
I may not have a foot man, butler, husband or other half of any consequence waiting at home for me, but I do have this handsome bird. Seems I’ve been missed.
One of my favourite paintings & a miraculous demonstration of genius.
Today we re-framed Jan van Eyck’s Arnolfini Portrait. We replaced the late 19th century gothic fantasy frame with a newly acquired somber gilded 15th century moulding. The figures appear larger and the details crisper without the competition of the incongruous carving.
With some of the barely concealed sneers my work has received, I wouldn't be surprised if someone referred to ME as a '19th century composer.' 🤣🤣🤣😇
If a composer, or artist, or novelist were to die unexpectedly this year, 2024, and been highly active until the end, would we call them a "twentieth-century" artist? So why do we call Puccini (d. 1924) a nineteenth-century composer?
Totally bossing it on Spotify this month. Thank god I earn a decent whack from them most months…oh…wait…
When it comes to literature & the arts, nothing irritates me as much as people accusing others of being pretentious for listing the greatest works of art as their favourites. "I don't like these books, so you don't actually like them either."
“A novel is the only place where two strangers can meet on terms of absolute intimacy. The reader and the writer make the book together. No other art can capture the essential inwardness of human life.” #PaulAster RT @parisreview
Very excited and honoured to have so many performances by wonderful musicians this May!
@GregHarradine @hairygit It was as if the character of Pnin was in part the things that an immigrant Russian academic had to leave behind in order to become an American academic. To me it was tragic as well as comic.
Auster was “torn between his father’s thrift, to the point of miserliness, and his mother’s urge to spend, to the point of recklessness” and “more inspired by James Joyce’s Ulysses or the tales of Edgar Allan Poe than by the security of a traditional job.” news4jax.com/entertainment/…
The death of Paul Auster reminds me that the Boomer generation are leaving us earlier than I expected. There are some moving passages about this in Salman Rushdie’s Knife (underlined at speed when reviewing) in which he writes: “Death was showing up at the wrong addresses.”
Heading into choppy waters today. It's time for that most terrifying moment...HOW DO I END THIS COMPOSITION?! Some have difficulty with beginnings; my bête noire is the ending. You should see my graveyard of incomplete pieces!
@PipSinks The replies… what a world we live in.
