Memory Flowers

OUT NOW.

I’ve peaked. (Thanks for the video Dan!)

@EamonnODwyer @Lornebalfe “Reminiscent of” would constitute a tipping of the hat to Purcell. But it’s a *direct* lift of an entire 17 chord sequence, every modulation/inversion/diminished, identical. & considering these big-name composers seldom orchestrate their own work, what exactly did Hans Zimmer do?

@MemoryFlowers @Lornebalfe I don’t think that’s lazy at all! What better way to musically depict a centuries old monarchy than borrowing from one of the greatest Royal composers that ever lived! 👑

So here’s a delicious thing about the music in #TheCrown: all the scenes that happen before the opening credits have to end in D minor (the key of @HansZimmer’s theme). And they all do - they all segue seamlessly into those yummy clarinets.

@EamonnODwyer @Lornebalfe I’m sure you’re aware Zimmer’s lifted the entire progression from Purcell. So lazy! open.spotify.com/track/3vAvbk11…

That’s 3 composers #HarryGregsonWilliams @Lornebalfe & #MartinPhipps over 50 eps, all sensitively & beautifully honoring the work of another. It may not seem like much, & you may not have even noticed it, but it pleases me every single time. Music nerd out. #composer #music #nerd

Writer-Director James Fox just got in touch to let me know that my score on his beautiful film ‘All The Music You Need’ has won Best Score at the Halloween Horror Film Festival 2022. I may have won a few awards in my time 💅🏻 but this is my first trophy!🏆 Imma buy a cabinet.

What’s this, an *actual* public performance by yours truly this Saturday at montunos.co.uk? Oh my!

@Stiffe13 Why thank you 😊

@MemoryFlowers Love the original but your vocals make it even better 😍👌

I had two Asda Victoria sponges for lunch and stared at the rain for six hours so for tonight’s dinner date I shall be seeking the most expensive burgundy Chardonnay central London has to offer. And vegetables.

@Poplifer73 🙏

Saturday Morning! Memory Flowers “Cartwheels” @MemoryFlowers open.spotify.com/track/6RUxVF3F… WHAT A SONG AND ALBUM! Highly recommended. #MemoryFlowers #SaturdaySoundtrack #NowPlaying #HeavyRotation

Is it spring yet?

Lovely interview with dearest Justin here. 🎩

Shit the bed! This has put me in an *excellent* humour.

@LarryFlick: “Cartwheels is eccentric, really rich & buoyant. Memory Flowers specialises in what he rightly calls ‘euphoric melancholia;’ the music is big & bouncy but the words make you think. The album is so adventurous, so much fun, but it’s also really accessible.” #fuckME

Boom! 💥
