To illustrate Jonathan Powell's legacy and importance to composers, I am compiling a list of works dedicated to him. If you have composed a work, know of one, or are planning one, I would be grateful if you could let me know.

This is an extract from "December Music" for triple valved brass. If you play the corny, flugey, trumpy, horny, barry, euphy or tubary to ANY standard (even no standard🤪) then you can play this!

Woke up to the devastatingly awful news of Jonathan Powell's death 😔 We lost a giant today and I still can't quite believe it. I found solace in one of his own compositions, Sonata VI. This is an extract

I like making graphic scores to give to people. I made these with glittery nail polish, ready to give to cool people in Luxembourg at The Rainy Days Festival 😊

Before after my double shift where I played 56 pages over 3 hours - could have easily played another 56 straight away, this is seriously spacetimeless music, playing 1 page is no different from playing 100 pages VEXATIONS LIVESTREAM www.youtube.com/@francescopi... On again at 23:15

Cannot believe I have this on my wall. A score of John Cage’s, signed by John Cage. One of the most generous gifts I have ever received! Thank you Andrew Toovey, I will never forget this and I will treasure it for the rest of my life 🥹

The names of the 75 composers who contributed a bar to "I Hate Suitcases" for piano, darts and caller. We performed it on the 8th September and now hope it will be taken up by others! drive.google.com/file/d/1Slgc... [Composers, if you spot an issue with your name/bar, let me know and I will fix]

"For Samuel Beckett" was premiered at Heath Street Baptist Church across the last weekend in August by organist Kat Farn who played for a total of nineteen hours! There are no appropriately grandiose words to describe how grateful I am to her for taking on this enormous monster!

I remember when I first learned that alcohol, taken in sufficient quantities, may produce all the effects of drunkenness and just thinking how wild that was!

I no longer wish to be known as a composer, from this day on please refer to me only as a soundshitter.
