This month
On Saturday, I speak at a performance of my choir piece, Absence, by the marvellous Micklegate Singers. You can hear their rousing performance of it from March here, and book for the event here:
A Quaker Trilogy tickets
​This marks the publication of three pieces commissioned by the Micklegate Singers that set the same text by William Penn. This Quaker funerary text is a moving rumination on friendship and eternity that chimes wonderfully with thoughts I explored in an earlier work of mine, Ceasing.
​
I’ll be appearing alongside fellow composers David McGregor and Frederick Viner to discuss the creative process and the works we’ve produced.

Rebecca Burden of terra invisus performs in Clapham
​Last month
terra invisus’s tour of their debut album, Visions, kicked off in Clapham at the beginning of the month, moving on to performances in Devon and Norwich. I’ve been so delighted to see them perform my piece Wound Honey with such flair and commitment. You can hear it on the album linked above.
​
I took the newest version of my synthesiser, the Hyasynth, to Lisbon for the Noise Floor conference. I met wonderful electronic musicians who were kind about the synth – very encouraging, given how new I am to instrument building. I’m looking forward to doing more performing on it in the coming months and releasing lots of improvising and practice videos on my Instagram.

I have exciting things I can’t yet announce, including synth performances in the autumn and recording sessions in the summer. Stay subscribed here, or on my Instagram, to hear more…
