The climax of Westlake's Piano Trio
(and synchronised head bobbing with @molstagrammer and @cellowushu )

The nocturne from the Funeral March of Chopin's 2nd Sonata.

It is the only real point of calm I believe there to be in the entire sonata. In amongst all of the struggle and flight of the outer movements, this is a moment where in spite of everything an imperfect inner peace is found, lost, and found again. And of all the places, if you listen carefully, you can hear church bells chiming in the distance.

Thank you to everyone who could be there for the Love and Loss recital last week, it was a meaningful experience to me to have so many people from across my life in such a beautiful space and I hope to have done you justice.

Thank you also to all the people at St Ann's Church who were so kind and accommodating whilst putting this together.

Huge thanks to @bechstein.manchester for having myself and @canyizhuang perform Albéniz, Villa-Lobos and Ginastera!

Decided to re-record some of my old "Prints" compositions as apparently the only recordings I have of them sound like they were recorded in a tin can.

It was so much fun to come back to these and recall what about the art inspired me to compose them in the first place.

Not as much fun transcribing them though lol write your ideas down kids 🙄

Future ones to come too :)

1. Gauguin - Prés de la Mer
Great washes of colour, mounting waves, natural freedom

2. Cassat - Enfants sur la Plage
The innocent melodrama of a child's imagination

3. Garstin - Rain it Raineth
Mashup of Rain it Raineth from Twelth Night and Debussy Passepieds + inner counter melody

4. Gris - Man in a Café
Fragmented and uneven (reminds me of Money Bags from Spyro 🤷🏽‍♂️?)

5. Taito - Carp Leaping out the Pool
Music for the summoning of a terrible river god carp overlord

6. Steinlen - Tournée du Chat Noir de Rodolphe Salis
Parisian nostalgia, moody villain-ass cat bouncer staring you down at the door to the cabaret

7. Degas - L'Etoile
A graceful ballerina watched by a haunting figure

8. Gris - Houses in Paris
Amelie cycling through Paris meets Philip Glass

9. Yunny Que - The Moon and a Horse
Meditative, drab, eerie, otherworldly, comforting, quietly emotional,

A snippet from our rehearsal of Schoenberg's Vier Lieder Op.2 which we performed this weekend as part of our song recital at the Hay Music Festival

Really enjoyed exploring songs by Schoenberg, Saariaho, Weil and others with @alysiahanshaw 💫

A pleasure as always 🫶🏽
