I’m delighted to say that - in my portfolio of artistic activities - I have added to the second-worst paid job in the Known Universe the worst paid: I am having three poems published. Watch this space for more detail!

wonderful quote from Knausgaard: "The duty of literature is to fight fiction. It's to find a way into the world as it is..." Can music do this? Which does it best??

thinking about, and listening to Jonathan Harvey today: "It's for music to articulate the true nature of man in his blissful, enlightened form. No less than that should be demanded. It's a way of charm and simplicity which no verbal concepts, least of all mine, can ever encapsulate."

First day park yoga of the year always so beautiful and powerful. Feeling the colossal world-turning energy of spring, the energy and stretch in limbs and heart. May today inspire you. #letsgooutside #asanaalfresco #parklife #harbinger #riteofspring #dilfhorndoesyoga #sundayintheparkwithrolf

Proud of my returning adult piano student Miriam today: it's been a long journey, but the Baiser de l'Enfant Jésus (Messiaen Vingt Regards, no. XV) is now close to performance level. Wonderful to teach someone with so much enthusiasm and imagination.

Nice workshop with a lively group of students at @trinitylaban yesterday, where the standard seems to constantly rise! First time I’ve asked for scores and got the response Can I airdrop it to you?! #pianistsofbluesky #composersofbluesky

It’s a long time since I’ve played this beast, but it’s been fascinating to revisit with my student @_davidpalmer_ at the @guildhallschool come and here him at Milton Court 3pm on the 30th bringing all his usual commitment and flair to this wild score…

Tasmania has been all about #richardflanagan s brilliant writing. But I found time for a first #knausgaard and WOW. what an extraordinary captivating read. Can’t wait for the rest of the series, sadly not to be found in Hobart’s bookshops!

vegan shakes at kombihobart and narrynamuseum. after getting past a volunteer doorman, Lurch/Charon - we wonder the oppressive house, replete with homilies for servants, often sent back to the @cascadesfemalefactory for correction by a George Meredith, odious purveyor of c19th gardening metaphwoarr

Grimmest of museums today in Hobart. This is also an island of appalling horrors, and quite recent too. @cascadesfemalefactory does an amazing job of addressing them and naming the infant victims on an incredibly moving wall. I’m surprised Australians don’t hate us more. #hobart #tasmania

Tasmania. Day 2. Violence, sadness, majesty. So much to think about at the Museum and Art Gallery: responses in wood to Richard Flanagan’s searing novels, two of which - First Person and Question 7 - I’m currently reading, and are brilliant.

first morning in Tasmania. This made me cry, especially the surprise appearance of Sculthorpe. Music can enchant, reconcile and show the way... m.youtube.com/watch?v=cLu9...
