Ensemble Saxologie record ‘Avalanche’

Montreal-based Ensemble Saxologie recently recorded my Avalanche (2022). It sounds wonderful. This is the final recording done for my album Too Many Sweets which is due out in April 2024! I’m grateful to the Vaughan Williams Foundation who supported this recording.

The album is sounding great and going off for mastering soon. My friend and colleague Drew Crawford is an amazing mix engineer!

Pythagoras’ Toolkit Premieres

Just back from a brilliant week or so in Montreal conducting the premiere of my collaborative puppetry-music work made with Rachel Warr (Dotted Line Theatre). It was fantastic working with Rachel, the amazing musicians of Ensemble Paramirabo, and ridiculously talented puppeteers Gilbert Taylor and Edie Edmundson. The reception from both kids and adults was fantastic, and it was really great to be part of the Festival de Casteliers. Great to see lots of weird and wonderful puppetry in other shows too! Fingers crossed this production leads to further opportunities to do the piece. I’m hugely proud of what Rachel and I have created together and grateful to Jeff Stonehouse and all at Ensemble Paramirabo for believing in it and supporting the project.
