I wrote a 'Birthday Backing Track' for my wife. I'm going to be doing more of these for my @musicpatronuk patrons - more info coming soon: soundcloud.com/bencomposer/ka… This piece features, amongst other things, our wedding vows and the sounds of my belly being slapped. Good.

Fun day. My last performance as Composer in Resonance of the @leedspiano Piano Trail Festival @pianodrome. Before that, my piece Air Arc Air (composed as a response to @musicprocess conference) is broadcast as part of Seanaps Festival in Germany seanaps.net/2024/radio Good.

Composers, quick question. Do you include performances of a single movement of a larger work in your list of performances? If the work is modular in nature, does this change things?

For the last week, I've been in #Filey with @robbentall recording sounds for a new hour-long piece for @leedspiano Piano Trail. Can't wait to share it in September.

In which Olympic sport would Stravinsky achieve the gold? Uneven bars. Good.

I'm listening to this with my headphones on and the sound mixing is awful. Some really bad errors here, particularly 0:55 - this is why you should invest in the arts.

This is going to be so much fun! I'm putting the final touches to the 8th movement of Local Mosaics and Graffiti, ready for a performance of the full 40 minutes featuring me and any conference attendees who feel like improvising.
