Echolocations & Entail

Had a great time playing new music with friends and colleagues from the University of Southampton at Winchester Cathedral last week. I made a new piece with Will May and collaborated with Gre, Drew Crawford and Pablo Galaz on a new piece Echolocations. All played under the amazing whales created by Tessa Campbell. Thanks to Southampton Institute for Arts and Humanities and the Southampton Marine and Maritime Institute for organising.

Month at the piano…

Had a big month of playing the piano this January. Lots of practicing for 4 gigs…

First, music by Carla Bley ith my friends and colleagues Drew Crawford and Gre at a staff/student showcase at work. Here is the recording of ‘Wrong Key Donkey’, one of my favourite Bley tunes..

Then (23 January) a gig with the Dan Mar-Molinero band in Exeter, playing three great new tunes by Dan alongside 3 belters from his album ‘Taproot’. Always fun to play his music. Picture of Exeter from the carpark below!

And then this Monday, again at Turner Sims for the Department of Music, I played my Love Letters with superstar Hannah Williams before conducting awesome students in Milhaud’s La création du monde.

I’m really glad I started playing the piano again more a few years ago, and grateful to friends who invite me to play or are willing to play with me! Practising a lot feels good and hope to keep it going this year.

Looking forward to playing new music with Gre, Drew Crawford and Pablo Galaz as well as a new poetry-music collaboration with Will May next week at Winchester Cathedral:
