Daisy Coole @daisycoole.bsky.social · 20/11/2024This is an excellent explanation of why I choose to write in a partnership with Tom. Nothing unlocks a creative block faster than someone handing you a 🔑 to door you didn’t even realise was there to walk through. The magic of ending up somewhere unexpected is my favourite thing about co-scoring. 110

Reposted by Daisy CooleCorbin Keep @cellocorb.bsky.social · 18/11/2024There are a number of reasons why great works by historical women composers aren’t well known and at the heart of the classical canon, even though it’s clear that they should be. One reason: exposure. There are decades worth of recordings by male composers, often in multiple versions. (1/5) 4347
