Here's a score construction time lapse of my piece for @SolemQuartet next Wed at @TungAuditorium I've loved composing in this semi-graphic sweet spot. It looks at performance gesture, exploring the fallacy of reverse engineering that back into the piece. Thank U @RoyalPhilSoc

@jjohnstonmezzo @MezzoRosie @billbj @teteateteopera @sarahnparkin Really sorry to hear about this. It's exasperating that every time this conversation starts, the accounts of abuse just come rolling in. When will we have change? It's no good just making art about it either, we need institutional support that is 💰 shaped, not just ❤️ shaped.

Always comical that the @doricoofficial playback for a top C on the flute makes it sounds as breathy, forced, and bloody difficult as possible. I promise we're not that bad!

My complaint of the morning is having to play Bach on a Steinway. Like being instructed to finely dice an onion but presented with a soup spoon.

Continually amazed by Pages stubbornly opening any Microsoft Word document like an absolute crazy person. This incompatibility spans decades and would be such an easy fix and the decision to NOT DO THAT in a laughable attempt to enforce brand loyalty is just cute at this point.

Noticing how Tik Tok trends are changing the way pop songs are written. I'm seeing a lazier approach to structure these days because once you've got that 15 sec lick that people can sync to, there's no incentive to be palatable for a further 3 mins. Interested to share thoughts!

@EVS_Composer Great question! So, it was his assistant that was arranging the meeting, I do not have one. It was framed as 'a meeting to discuss a commission and potential working relationship' so I'd think a fee ought to be implicit in that, otherwise it's not a commission, it's charity.

@amybryce Was it ever hinted that you would recieve a salary when they contacted your assistant, or did they just not mention it until last minute during the online meeting?

Happy Monday to everyone but especially to me, who just wasted half an hour meeting someone online for a potential commission. It was very silly of me to assume that just because it was all organised through an assistant that there would be ANY budget for me?!

Spring has sprung and the male pigeon will puff his feathers and chase the disgruntled female pigeon and behind him, me (angry feminist unable to cope with the modern world) will chase the male pigeon screaming "HEY YOU HEARD HER, NO MEANS NO!" and then both birds fly away...

After a brief moment of insanity, you'll all be pleased to know that I've decided NOT to make art based on the 2011 diary kindly delivered by my mum the other day. The romantic drivel of a 16 yo believing they were the only person to ever fall in love will stay between Me and Me.

Enforce height order at standing gigs. School photo vibes. No one over 6ft in the front 60% of the venue. If your friend isn't within 3 inches of your height that's too bad, you can't stand together.

When I first started teaching, I didn't consider the possibility that one day these people might grow up to be stunning musicians and excellent human beings and, in a way that humbles you to the floor, might even cite you as part of the reason why. holy fuck what a feeling wow
