We’re making mini-zines for our first ever Christmas market! That’s right - we’re selling our stuff in person. New merch incoming! More info soon…

We’re really looking forward to debuting a new story, playing some tunes, and doing live esoteric readings for the LPF audience! But we have 200 bloody tickets to sell for this thing, so please book some, for the sake of our blood pressures.

Always wondered when we would do another Long Cat musical after Anne & Mary. This is not quite that (we’ll only hear excerpts from this show), but even something close to Mockery Manor: The Musical is not something I ever expected we’d do!

Fuck A24. The one studio still putting out imaginative work, just weeks after the staunchly-anti-AI Kane Parsons gave them their biggest hit ever, partners with Google's DeepMind. No more money for A24, no support for their films. A top-tier brand irrevocably shat itself overnight.

Here's a new thing we're doing! Over on YouTube, we're starting to post long-form ambient music and sound videos, with extended mixes of some never-before-released scores from Long Cat episodes. The first one is a 50-minute mix of music and sounds from The Paper Witch, from Magenta Presents. 👇

We have got to bring colour and light back to movies. This looks like a horror. The blank stare. The Kubrick symmetry. The uncanny full-body mid shot. It’s terrifying.

It’s a screen shot of the Christopher Robin movie from an official Disney account. Winnie the Pooh is standing facing the camera in the most terrifying way imaginable. The shot is so dark and frightening

I recently decided to quit streaming music and go back to having a good ol' fashioned collection of my own. I've been so surprised by my own reaction to this change that I wrote a blog about it. You can read it below 😺

If anybody would like to commission the TV version of an award-winning independent British sitcom that ran for 4 x seasons, well, I've got one. It's a podcast, you can listen to it right now for free. We still get fan mail and donations every day. Let's make more narrative comedy, please.

Literally the first sound in this Star Wars trailer is a misquote of the Star Wars theme. The second note is half the length it should be - it's a common misremembering of the theme. Incredible that it's made it into a trailer. Maybe the wrong version is now correct! www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHWl...

I have a new album out! In 2024, I got to score a beautiful feature documentary - STRONGER THAN THE WAVE. The film charts a journey along Japan’s Michinoku Coastal Trail, documenting its rugged and ethereal landscape, and the recovery of the communities affected by the 2011 earthquake and tsunami.

Date for the diary! On Nov 26th (a Wednesday), we will be live streaming a listening party of the very first MOCKERY MANOR episode. We'll be doing a director's commentary-style deep dive into the making of the episode, behind-the-scenes nuggets and the early days of Mockery, followed by Q&A time.

I don't often share my corporate work, but my score for this advert has won a Platinum award for Best Original Music at the AVA Digital Awards 2025. 🪐 The ad also scooped 7 other awards, including one for Cinematography. In an age of AI, it's nice to see adverts crafted by humans getting kudos!

CHRIST! I just watched The Substance, and now it’s 1am and I feel like I need a debrief! I can’t remember being properly shocked by a horror film in ages. It’s hilarious. What a ride. Amazing performances from Moore and Qualley. I loved it and I never want to see it again. Ten stars!

Just discovered that Wendy Carlos, the legendary synth pioneer and composer of numerous Kubrick movies, has one of the weirdest websites I’ve ever seen. I’d expect nothing less from her, but every page is full of gems. Take a look.

The Official Wendy Carlos HomePage. The definitive Web collection of information about the pioneer synthesist and composer (and solar eclipse photographer), including a "Write Wendy"...
