One of my happiest friendships is with Ryan O’Neal - aka Sleeping at Last We decided to put our friendship to the test - booking Abbey Road studios for a day - coming in with nothing - and only leaving when we had something written and fully recorded open.spotify.com/track/5PXGb0...

Is it just me or is this staircase actually a stone brontosaurus hiding in plain sight?

So annoying that my computer doesn’t recognise the word ‘Diegetic’ [music emanating from within a scene/ in camera] So my notes have been heading to my editor full of diabetic warnings… #musicproduction

It’s been a big week in many ways. IYKYK So today called for something a bit different… Plasma Fusion! I was a very bad physics student at school-and yet I’m fascinated by it Excited to return in order to record the hottest explosion on Earth in the near future… #Fusion

As someone who travels a lot, I take too much joy from terrariums (terrariae?) This one contains moss from my favourite place to walk and compose music, as well as a lobelia that has probably exploded by now #horticulture

Does your work make others happier, healthier or their lives easier? If so, you should never be out of work (Just a thought)

Met this little chap on my morning walk yesterday We looked at each other for a long while - then a slight nod - and went on our respective ways Sometimes it is good just to acknowledge each other and carry on as you were #Nature

The Getty Collection has a wealth of open copyright treasures to enjoy and even use in your work Here’s a collage by English amateur artist who arranged all sorts of bits & bobs to emulate the layout of a medieval illuminated manuscript. Isn’t this lovely? #art www.getty.edu/art/collecti...

The English amateur artist John Bingley Garland created this collage by arranging prints and gold foil paper on a large, buff-colored sheet of paper. He further embellished the collage with red opaque watercolor mimicking drops of blood. Garland arranged these elements to emulate the layout of a medieval illuminated manuscript.

Felt lonely this morning - missing those I love and others who’ve just passed But a long walk in sunlight, the deer, the castle and the lovely people at the coffee shop made it a fine start to a day #Nature

Darling Jill I can’t believe the news today I’m going to miss your hugs, your raw talent, your beauty, your filthy genius but most of all your love of everything ‘It’s just as easy to be nice as be an arsehole’ became a mantra I love you Jill I always will. We all love you who knew you Miss Sobule
