Good. I've written a post about writer's block for composers for @opencollegearts - I hope it's useful or thought-provoking or, at least, readable! oca.ac.uk/weareoca/music…

@drgaryoshea Ha ha ha! His tone has ruined my Christmas spirit.

@musicpatronuk is there any chance you could share my strange request!! 😀

Additionally, I'm looking for one that says the word "stand". Optimistic words are a bonus, as are lifts/escalators/elevators accessible to me.

Weird request. I'm writing a piece about lifts/elevators (and maybe escalators) and I need your help! Are there any lifts/elevators/escalators near you that have spoken text? Ideally audible/clear/recordable - and, perhaps, containing interesting words.

@BritishEAnetwrk 50 euros!

@batmud ...could I recommend Batmud :-P excellent game!

What was the last text game you played? If you haven't, it's a high time to give one a go.

@musicpatronuk Started trying to write sci-fi short stories :-) I don't think it informs my work, really, but it's fun to do! Nice to have a different creative outlet (and one where there's no pressure to be good...)

Composers: is there another art form that you practice that informs your work? Are you a painter, a sculptor? Maybe a poet?

Good - @radiophrenia are broadcasting a bunch of my pieces in April: radiophrenia.scot/calendar/1107-… pro tip, make stupid, short pieces and sometimes people will play them!

Magical stuff from the @MarsyasTrio

@RavennaTran This is such a beautiful reel!

@nmcrecordings @tomcoult Beautiful cover!

💿TOM COULT: PIECES THAT DISAPPEAR 💿 We’re delighted to be realising Tom Coult’s debut album 'Pieces That Disappear' on 22 November! @tomcoult

Good. The piece I made for the @musicpatronuk launch event at the Groucho Club is going to be on Canadian radio hibernationproject.ca/2024/11/11/mor… Good.

@LeedsCladding @EOCS_Official @ukcag @ResonanceFM @gwaithswn I hope you enjoy! It's a bit weird - I do experimental music, but I recorded sounds from when my flat was being reclad, and combined them with other sounds of my flat.

@bencomposer @EOCS_Official @ukcag @ResonanceFM @gwaithswn Can’t wait to give it a listen! 👏

Very happy that my composition about the Cladding Scandal @LeedsCladding @EOCS_Official @ukcag, which I called Clad in Fire-Resistant Armour, is being broadcast on @ResonanceFM @gwaithswn tonight at 10pm resonancefm.com/programmes/579…

@ianpacemain I am an ex-drinker, and I get the same thing very frequently. Really quite an intense feeling of guilt.

@ianpacemain Nah. This looks incredible.

@CheekyArtsFest @leedspiano @pianodrome @musicprocess I loved it!

@bencomposer @leedspiano @pianodrome @musicprocess Composer in Resonance is a nice version of Composer In Residence

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.

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.
